Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga, in a recent public notice, has announced immediate changes to the County Executive Committee with the aim of fostering and strengthening county governance.
In a recent executive order dated December 1, 2025, Wanga has restructured key county departments and redirected leadership roles, which has seen the re-assignment of Danish Onyango, who will now serve not only as the CEC Member for Roads, Public Works, Transport, and Infrastructure but will also act as the Ag. CEC Member for Agriculture, Irrigation, and Livestock Development.
The governor noted that the additional role is intended to bolster the county’s efforts in improving agricultural productivity and food security.
The Governor also announced that Dr. Peter Ogalla has been dismissed without further details to his removal from the County Executive Committee, where he has been serving in a portfolio of Lands, Physical Planning, Housing, and Urban Development.
Wanga, on the other hand, has appointed Joseph Mitto, describing him as "a consummate professional with strong leadership skills from Homa Bay Town, to serve as the County Executive Committee member in charge of Lands, Physical Planning, Housing, and Urban Development. As per the law, I will submit his name and vetting documents for approval by the county assembly."
She has directed that his appointment papers be prepared for approval by the County Assembly.
"The changes herein take effect immediately. The County Secretary is tasked to ensure smooth handing over by those affected," part of the Executive Order read.
