Anne Kananu Mwenda was yesterday sworn into office as the Nairobi County deputy governor, on a day punctuated by many firsts.
In about six hours, Kananu was quickly elevated from position of chief officer in charge of Disaster Management and Compliance to the city’s second in command by the afternoon, perhaps making her among the first holders of the position to be vetted and sworn into office on the same day.
Having scored her first victory at about 8am when the High Court dismissed two petitions seeking to block her vetting, Kananu strode into the County Assembly plenary chambers at 9am, ready to face the panel that would set the process in motion about 10 minutes later.
