Isiolo governor Abdi Hassan Guyo has named county appointees for the positions of County Executive Committee (CECs), County Secretary and County Attorney General.

From the look of look things, the question of a two-third gender rule is likely to arise as Guyo appointed only one woman to the senior positions in his government.

Aileen Kajuju Mungira is the only woman who has made it to the governor’s appointment list, having been appointed CEC for Education, Youth, Sport, Culture and Social Services.

Kajuju has been promoted from being Chief Executive Officer at the same Ministry in former governor Mohammed Kuti’s government.

Guyo appointed Ali Warko Sarite to be in charge of Water, Sanitation, Energy, Environment and Natural Resources.

Mwongela’s former docket Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and the Special program has been allocated to Yusuf Mohamed Galgalo.

Galgalo had been serving as County Secretary in an acting capacity since the former was fired immediately after governor Guyo’s government took of over Isiolo county leadership.

Appointed to be in charge of Land, Physical Planning, Roads, Transport, Urban Development and Peace and Conflict Resolution is Yusuf Dahir, having retained the position he held during the previous government led by Mohammed Kuti.
