'One Gov't approach': Health CS Nakhumicha 'orders' transfer of OCS, says she has power to do so

The CS, despite the power to transfer security officials not being within her docket, said that the government has taken a 'one government approach' which ostensibly gave her the powers to make sweeping decisions and only report actions taken to the relevant Cabinet secretary.

Speaking in Matisi on Saturday, Nakhumicha said, "We are using the one government approach. That means that when I stand here, I'm representing President William Ruto's government and I am ordering the transfer of Matisi OCS. If the county commandant is here or wherever he is, let the message reach him that the CS has said that by tomorrow, the Matisi OCS should be out of here. I will just go and report to my colleague (Interior CS Kithure) Kindiki the action I've taken."

The CS spoke at the burial of Joseph Marango, who died during countrywide 'Maandamano' protests.
