Kenneth Lusaka dismisses entire Bungoma cabinet in major county shake-up
Governor Kenneth Lusaka has sacked his entire County Executive Committee (CEC), including the County Attorney and County Secretary, in a move he says is aimed at upholding the integrity and efficiency of county governance.
The announcement was made on Thursday, April 9, 2026, just a day after a Member of the County Assembly (MCA) tabled an impeachment motion against a county official, reported to be the County Attorney.
Governor Lusaka said the decision falls within his constitutional mandate, citing Section 40(1)(a) of the County Government Act, which allows governors to reorganize their executive teams to enhance performance and service delivery.
“The changes are made in good faith and in the public interest,” Lusaka stated, emphasizing that the move was intended to strengthen governance structures and ensure accountability in the county.
The impeachment motion had been received by the County Assembly, but Lusaka moved swiftly before it could be tabled on the assembly floor, signaling a proactive approach to managing county affairs.
County residents were reassured that essential services would continue without disruption, with administrative arrangements put in place to maintain continuity while new appointments are considered.
Political analysts suggest that the mass sackings may also serve to preempt any political tension arising from the impeachment process and realign the county government for smoother operations.
Lusaka indicated that interim arrangements would be communicated shortly, and he would follow legal procedures in appointing new cabinet members, including replacements for the County Attorney and County Secretary.
The governor’s move has sparked reactions across the county, with some residents praising the action as a commitment to integrity, while others have expressed concerns over the timing and sudden nature of the sackings.
Observers note that this development sets the stage for a major reshuffle in Bungoma County’s leadership, and attention will now turn to how the County Assembly handles the pending impeachment motion and how the new executive team will be constituted.
