Governor Ndeti expressed her optimism about the new appointments on her social media pages, highlighting the significance of these roles and their expected positive impact on the county.
"I have today witnessed the swearing in of three Chief Officers following their vetting and approval by the County Assembly of Machakos. The officers are:
- Francis Munyambu - Department of Inspectorate and Emergency Services,
- Joyce Gituro - Department of Public Communications and E-Government,

Joyce Gituro expressed her gratitude on Instagram, thanking God for His mercies, Governor Ndeti for believing in her, and her children, family, and friends for their support.
"I have so much to say about this appointment but for now allow me to thank the Almighty God for His mercies that are new every morning, Governor Wavinya Ndeti for believing in me," she said.
"My dear daughter and two sons for loving me always, my immediate and extended family members for being there and for ALL my friends for being very very patient with me. Indeed let the Lord lead the way to my new territory. Blessings," Gituro's post concluded.
