The Kiambu county chief officer in charge of Agriculture and marketing John Ngigi has been directed by Governor Ferdinand Waititu to proceed on his annual leave immediately.
Waititu said his directive was informed by Ngigi’s prolonged stay at work due to the nature of his office that seemingly made it impossible for him to take leave.
“It has been noted that you have not taken your annual leave for some time due to the busy nature of your office. You are, therefore, hereby, advised to proceed for your annual 30 days leave with effect from Thursday, January 3,” Waititu said.
The governor directed Ngigi, a brother of Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria, to hand over to the chief officer in charge of Livestock, Fisheries and Veterinary Services.
He is expected to resume duty on February 14.
