Charity Ngilu who is Kitui county governor is seeking to climb at the top job of the gubernatorial seat. According to her report card , Ngilu is among a few governors who are really trying to change the shape of their counties.
This speculation comes as council of governors seek to go into a fresh elections to fill in the positions of the chairperson, Deputy Chair-person and whip which is expected to take place in January 14.
Chairman Josephat Nanok on Tuesday sent a goodwill message for the New Year and gave the council’s calendar of events for the first quarter. Kirinyaga governor is currently holding the position of the Deputy Vice- Chairperson of the council of elders.
In July last year, it was expected that Nanok would step down for his Kwale counterpart Salim Mvurya.
Nanok succeeded former Meru governor Peter Munya in May 2017, and his term was to end mid last year.
There were media reports that he had declined to step down. However, he dismissed the claims.
“The Council of Governors remains united and non- partisan, conducting its business through consultations and in the interest of county governments,” Nanok said.
He said a children’s conference will be from February 18 to 20 at Nairobi Primary School as a precursor for the devolution conference to be hosted by Kirinyaga county.
The sixth devolution conference is set to run from March 4 to 8 at Kirinyaga University.
The council has also urged fidelity to the Constitution and peaceful coexistence among Kenyans in the new year.
