Nandi County Governor Stephen Sang has announced a significant reshuffle of county executives, aiming to improve service delivery and address key gaps in governance.
The changes, made under Executive Order No. 1 of 2024, are in line with the County Government Act, 2012, and reflect the governor’s commitment to efficiency, productivity, and accountability.
“Cognizant of the need to enhance responsiveness to the people’s needs and focus performance on devolved functions, I have reorganized my government to ensure efficiency and effectiveness,” said Sang.
The reshuffle has affected several County Executive Committee Members (CECMs) and Chief Officers.
Alfred Lagat has been reassigned to Lands, Environment, and Climate Change, while Phelimon Bureti now heads Trade, Enterprise Development, and Tourism.

The reshuffle also extends to the County Chief Officers.
