David Kendagor has taken over as the new chairman of the Uasin Gishu County Government staff welfare association.
Kendagor assumed the role during an annual general meeting and election held at the Home Craft Centre in Eldoret City.
He takes over from Moses Amdany whose term expired.
Other newly elected officials were Abraham Magut (Vice Chairman), Sally Sang (Secretary), David Sitati (Vice Secretary), and Christopher Mugodo (Treasurer).
In his remarks during an inaugural speech, Kendagor thanked the members for believing in him pledging to work diligently in championing their issues
“I would urge you to remain united and work closely in assisting each other as a team. Unity is very important even at our workplace for us to progress,” he noted.
The outgoing team, which was praised by all speakers for enhancing democracy and transparency in the running of the scheme, challenged the new officials to reach out to register more members.
“As you are aware the number of members of the scheme has been decreasing due to natural attrition, retirement, and resignation from service. We want you to work hard to recruit as many members as possible,” said Sefania Salambo, the outgoing vice chairman.
The meeting was also attended by Uasin Gishu County Government Workers Union branch officials led by Isaac Kiptallam (chairman) Hassan Wangwero (branch Secretary) and Winnie Tenai as well as Rose Winnie Tenai and Rose Maiyo, the county union women’s representative.
