President Uhuru Kenyatta on Friday announced new changes in government that affect eight Principal Secretaries.
In a statement to newsrooms, President Kenyatta moved retired Major General Gordon Kihalangwa from the Defence Ministry to State Department for Public Works.
This comes just months after the president transferred him from the state department of immigration.
According to the President, he made the reshuffle “in order to enhance efficiency and service delivery.”
The President transferred Prof Paul Maringa from State Department for Public Works to Infrastructure, Ms Betty Maina from Industrialisation to Environment and Forestry.
Others moved are, Dr Francis Owino from State Department for Public Service to State Department for Industrialization and Dr Ibrahim Mohamed from State Department for Environment and Forestry to State Department for Defence.
