Top MoE Director Positions Up for Grabs After Three Senior Officials Exit.
Lobbying efforts for the positions of Regional Director of Education (RDE) have intensified at the Ministry of Education’s headquarters following the recent vacancy of these roles.
This situation arose after the retirement of three RDEs: Milton Nzioka, who served in Rift Valley, Margaret Lesuuda, who worked in Nairobi, and Luka Chebet, the Coast RDE.
Their retirement occurred between October 10 and 18 of this year, creating a significant gap in these crucial positions.
