Today the new CEC in charge of Health and Sanitation Prof Boaz Otieno Nyunya has been sworn-in to take over the docket.

“I have appointed the right person and at the right time to come in as the CEC in charge of health and Sanitation because he has been in the field of health for a long time and have the required experience. 

I had to do a lot of persuasion and we had to give him more time to talk to his then bosses to allow him to come and join us,” Nyong’o says.

Nyong’o calls for team work within the County Government of Kisumu so as to help realize his goals which he has for the people of Kisumu County.

Prof Nyunya who addressed to the media after his swearing-in ceremony described the opportunity as a big privilege and takes it seriously.

He says he is coming in a team player to work together with all the employees at the County Government of Kisumu  under Prof Nyong’o as the Governor.
