Ndeti dismisses minister

By The Anchor Reporter

Machakos County Executive Committee Member for Education, Philip Mutua Kilonzo was summarily dismissed yesterday.

His dismissal was announced in a press statement signed by Governor Wavinya Ndeti. 

The statement released on Monday afternoon stated that Kilonzo was found incapable of  discharging  duties delegated to him in the education ministry. 

The docket was immediately re assigned to the Roads, Transport and Public Works Cecm Dr.Consolata Mutisya.

His dismissal comes hardly a week after he was shoved from the Lands docket. It seems Wavinya was mulling over what to do with him when she announced the transfer, which affected a few other ministers. Observers are wondering when she discovered  the minister to be ineffective. 

Kilonzo now becomes the second Cecm member to part ways with the County. The first member was the former Youth and sports Cecm Onesmus Muasya alias 'Sky' who left office under yet unexplained circumstances.
