Kisumu County Assembly on Wednesday approved the appointment of Farida Salim as Roads County Executive Committee Member.
Governor Anyang’ Nyong’o had three weeks ago presented Farida’s name for the job following the resignation of Dr Joyce Osogo who is eying Homa Bay Woman Representative position in the forthcoming polls.
In a communication by the assembly, Farida, a former nominated Member of County Assembly was found to be fit for the job.

“Thank you His Excellency the Governor of the Great County of Kisumu Prof Peter Anyang’ Nyong’o. Thank you Kisumu County Assembly. May Allah bless you all abundantly. We join hands to serve our people. Mbele pamoja,” noted Farida following the assembly announcement.
