Murang’a:Ann Ngatha Macharia has been sworn in as the new Clerk of the Murang’a County Assembly, bringing over 20 years of public service experience to her new role. Her appointment marks a significant milestone for the county legislature.
According to Kenya News Agency, Assembly Speaker Johnson Mukuha congratulated Ngatha on her appointment, noting that it represents the beginning of a new chapter of service and leadership for the institution. He expressed satisfaction with the conclusion of a comprehensive and competitive recruitment process that identified Ngatha as the ideal candidate for the position.
Ngatha’s extensive experience in public administration, legislative operations, and county assembly management has been built over a career that began at the defunct Town Council of Maragua. She has held various positions, including roles in Hansard and human resources, and has served as acting clerk and secretary to the County Assembly Service Board.
Her appointment follows the resignation of former clerk Wilson Kuria Thuita, effective from September 8, 2026. The County Assembly Service Board then initiated the recruitment process that led to Ngatha’s selection.
As the new clerk, Ngatha will play a key role in supporting the legislative functions of the county assembly, including coordinating administrative operations, facilitating proceedings, and ensuring the effective implementation of parliamentary procedures. Her familiarity with the assembly’s procedures and governance responsibilities is expected to ensure continuity and progress in its operations.
