Siaya County Assembly approves nominees to the Public Service Board

The County Assembly of Siaya has approved Governor Cornel Rasanga’s nominees to the County Public Service Board. 

The unanimous decision has been arrived at after a rigorous vetting exercise carried out by the House Committee on Appointments which is being chaired by County Assembly Speaker George Okode.

The approved nominees who have satisfied the provisions of Section 58 of the County Governments Act, 2012, read together with the Public Appointments (County Assemblies Approval) Act, No. 5. of 2017 include Dr. Elijah Ochieng Achoch  as Chairperson, Magaga A lot, Joseph Rading Otieno and Joan Atieno Odawa who have been approved as Members of the Siaya County Public Service Board.                       
Others include Anne Akinyo Ludenyo Dr. Margaret Akinyi Oloo who have also been approved as members of the Board.

The previous list of nominees to the Siaya County Public Service Board tabled and debated in the House on 29th August, 2019 was rejected since the process didn’t adhere to the values of integrity, competitiveness and meritocracy.

However, courtesy of a report laid on the Floor by Usonga Ward Member of the County Assembly Sylvester Madialo, the House observed that the process leading to the current nomination, as evidenced by the recruitment report and associated documents, exhibited principles of competitiveness and meritocracy as provided for in the County Governments Act, 2012, the Public Appointments (County Assemblies Approval) Act, No 5 of 2017 and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission recommendation on persons nominated for appointments and requiring approval of County Assemblies.

The resolution of the County Assembly of Siaya will be forwarded to the Siaya Governor Cornel Rasanga who will now formally appoint the nominees as members of the County Public Service Board.
ENDS
