I remain grateful to the People of Homa Bay County for granting me the opportunity to serve as the First Female and Second Governor of the County.
Following my assumption to the Office of the Governor on 25th August 2022, I have had the pleasure of consulting and engaging with many people from Homa Bay who would wish to offer themselves for service of the County. I set up a selection process through the 100 Days Taskforce that I gazetted and had occasion to conduct suitability tests on the proposed nominees to fit their areas of expertise having due regard to the needs of the people of Homa Bay on matters of finance and governance, health, water, roads, education, agriculture, among others.
I have taken great care to address both regional and gender balance in the nominees and further accommodated areas of growth for our County for instance Blue Economy and Climate Change. I recently gazetted the departments and have prepared the Executive Oder 1 with full details on the departments.
In line with Article 179 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010, it is now my pleasure to present the nominees to serve as County Executive Committee members in the departments identified starting with the Deputy Governor H.E. Hon. Joseph Oyugi Magwanga who I have allocated leadership of the Agriculture and Livestock functions.
For nominees to serve as County Executive Committee Members, I have dispatched a letter to the Honourable Speaker as the law requires CECMs to be vetted by the County Assembly. I trust that the named persons, once approved by the Assembly, will serve the County of Homabay and its people diligently and with utmost dedication.

In the short time I have been in office, I have noted the need to have a vibrant Governor’s Delivery Unit to follow up on completion and utilization of projects, beginning with the 100 Days promises I made. I note with concern projects commenced by our Governor Emeritus for instance Kigoto Maize Mill and Arunjo Feeds that were not completed on time. To avoid such occurrences and ensure our monitoring and evaluation is well done I have appointed the following officers to serve in my office as the Governor’s Delivery Unit.

I remain committed to ensuring that the living standards of the people of Homabay County improve, and this will only be possible with getting the right people in office. The nominees have assured me they are ready to roll their sleeves and work hard for Homa Bay. They are men and women of integrity who will ensure every coin is spent in service delivery and development. Our plane is on the runway ready for take-off.
In conclusion, let me thank the nominees and in particular, wish the County Executive Committee nominees all the best as they go for vetting before the County Assembly. I also wish to assure the people of Homa Bay that I have consulted and obtained approval from the County Public Service Board in creation of the various offices named herein.
Signed in Homabay This 11th Day of October 2022.
