Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya has named his cabinet, tapping into the experience of some of the individuals that served under him when he was the Rift Valley Regional Coordinator.
In a list shared on his official Facebook page on Friday, October 14, 2022, Natembeya has nominated among others former Trans Nzoia County Commissioner Samson Ojwang.
Ojwang was the Trans Nzoia County Commissioner during the August 9 poll and was among those that President William Ruto accused of being used by the state.
But after the elections, he was later transferred to Busia County.
Ojwang has been nominated to be in charge of Public Service Management.
Governor Natembeya’s cabinet is arguably ethnically balanced with most of the communities in the county represented.
The 10-member cabinet has four women.

- Samson Otieno Ojwang – Public Service Management (PSM)
