Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has recalled all regional commissioners.
The communication was made through a press release made on December 31, 2022.
"All regional commissioners have been recalled to the ministry headquarters for further deployment," the press release read in part.
Subsequently, the Interior Ministry appointed new regional commissioners.

"To enhance service delivery, the new regional commissioners will start working immediately starting on December 31, 2022," the CS remarked in a statement.
The CS further made a raft of other changes;
Anne Ngetich who was serving as Secretary of Administration in the State Department for Lands and Physical Planning was appointed as the new Principal Administrative Secretary at the Interior Ministry.
"Beverly Opwora who was serving as County Commissioner for Makueni County was redeployed to serve as the Secretary for National Administration," the CS announced.

The changes came months after Deputy President Gachagua assured the commissioners that their jobs were secure and they would not face the sack.
"I want to assure all of you, your jobs are safe. Ours is to have a fresh start of engaging and agreeing what we want the National Government to do for the benefit of the people of Kenya," the DP assured commissioners on October 6.
