Dr.Bii reiterated that the 68 retirees who are exiting service, have duly fulfilled their constitutional mandate. “Today we are celebrating your service in a special way.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The Governor added: “The end of something is the beginning of something else and retirement is the beginning of an open highway of freedom; you are going into a chapter of freedom, that you have been working for so many years, following rules and regulations and now you have space to make decisions on what to do, ” said Dr. Bii.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The County head thanked all the retirees for giving all their strengths, and bringing up ideas and singled out the longest-working retiree who worked out in the service for 43 years, Mrs Roida Afande Asambu who served at the Department of Agriculture and Amina Galgalo, a cleaning supervisor who also worked for the longest time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

County Secretary Mr Edwin Bett thanked the retirees for their services.
“It is very easy to serve but not so easy to serve for a long time, we value and appreciate you for serving diligently and having delivered to our people, ” said Bett.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
