After a long period of serving the County without a Deputy Governor, Governor Mike Sonko has finally bowed and nominated Anne Kananu Mwenda as his Deputy Governor.

According to a letter addressed to the county speaker Beatrice Elachi, Sonko said that this move was in the interest of securing the county’s capital after he was barred from office on corruption grounds.

Given the foregoing and the interest of ensuring stability at Kenta’s Capital City and largest by economy and population, I do hereby nominate Anne Kanani Mwenda to the position of Deputy.

I therefore humbly urge the Assembly to expedite the vetting process of the said nominee, for purposes of appointment, as per the provisions of the County Government Act
