Ruto Issues Fresh Orders to Interior Ministry Over Sub-Counties

Ruto Issues Fresh Orders to Interior Ministry to start the process that will see the elevation of constituencies into sub-counties.

The head of state was speaking at the Stewards Revival Pentecostal Church in Nairobi while supporting a proposal fronted by Embakasi West Legislator Mark Mwenje.

According to The MP, If constituencies are elevated into Sub- counties, service delivery for citizens will be much easier especially during recruitment by the government.

Ruto Stated, “I have agreed with your MP that each constituency be elevated into a sub-county. PS Omollo go and implement the proposal,”

The Member of Parliament further gave an example that in Nairobi, sub-counties are adjacent making it difficult for residents to know where they will get government services because borders are divided by roads.

He stated, “When you are here at Kariobangi South Ward, we are in Kamukunji Sub-county. If you cross that side of the road, that is Ruai Sub-county. If you go to Umoja, you find that that is Embakasi Sub-county,”

“The reason I am raising this issue is that it affects us in Eastlands mostly. That means people here have to go for government services to the District Commissioner (DC) on this side. When you cross the road, you have to go to the DC to the other side,” he added.

He also decried that during government recruitment exercises, residents are often miss out because vacancies are allocated according to sub-counties.

“But more importantly, when governments jobs are there and when we are recruiting teachers, military officers or youths for National Youth Service (NYS) is done, its normally through sub-counties,” he added.
