Governor Kang’ata to be away from physical office for a month after leg injury

According to the County Government, the governor sustained an injury to his heel tendons while attending a meeting in Nairobi.

“Following medical assessment, the governor is currently receiving treatment and has been advised to stay away from physical office engagements for approximately one month to allow for full recovery,” a statement said.

Since the governor will not be physically present in official engagements, the Deputy Governor, Stephen Munania, will represent him.

Alternatively, the County Executive Committee Member for Finance, Prof. Kiarie, will handle designated engagements as appropriate.

However, the governor will be able to attend online meetings beginning Monday, February 23, 2026.
