The changes that are meant to enhance service delivery within the National Government Administration Officers, according to the CS, also saw the transfer of eight deputy county commissioners. 

The changes take effect immediately. 

Among the county commissioners recalled to Harambee House were Mr Herman Shambi, who was moved from Nandi County and Mr Mathias Rioba who was the county commissioner for Trans Nzoia

Also affected by the transfers are Mr Erastus Mbui who was moved from Kitui to Migori, Mr Joshua Nkanatha (Kiambu to Embu), Ms Josephine Ouko (Kisumu to Busia) while Mr Isaac Masinde was moved from Narok to Homa Bay County. 

Ms Susan Waweru who was stationed in Vihiga is the new Nairobi County commissioner while Mr Moses Lilan who was in Homa Bay heads to Kitui in the same capacity. Mr Mohamed Barre who was stationed in Nyeri moves to Nyandarua County.
