In a gazette notice dated Thursday, November 13, 2025, the CS introduced three new sub-regions — Nairobi North, Nairobi East, and Nairobi West Service Delivery Coordination Units.
Murkomen said the new structure was necessary due to the city’s rapidly growing population, which has now surpassed five million people.
To lead the newly created units, Murkomen appointed Rose Wanjiru Chege to head Nairobi West, Patrick Simiyu Werre for Nairobi East, and Simon Odhiambo Osumba for Nairobi North. The appointments take effect immediately.
During the announcement, Murkomen explained that the changes were part of the government’s ongoing efforts to decentralize services and enhance efficiency within the National Government Administration.
