The Untold Story and why he wants to join politics<\/code><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He holds a Bachelor of Arts and a Masters of Arts degree in Anthropology from UoN<\/strong><\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Today I am removing my uniform and I will never put on it\nagain, unless under very extra ordinary circumstances, starting today I am not the\nRegional Commissioner of Rift Valley,\u2019 this were the words of George Natembeya\nas he officially resigned to concentrate on politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe work you have seen me doing in Rift Valley and my style of administration I learnt from Mr Michuki. He was an early riser and by 6am, we were in the office and left at 9pm. I used to write his speeches, press releases and memos for him,\u201d said Natembeya in his resignation speech. <\/code><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

 Natembeya will be\nvying for the Trans Nzoia gubernatorial seat on the Democratic Alliance Party\nof Kenya (DAP-K) that is associated with Defense Cabinet Secretary Eugene\nWamalwa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natembeya will be facing Kiminini MP Dr Chris Wamalwa who\nwill be vying for the seat on Ford Kenya ticket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two are the top contenders in the race, want to replace\noutgoing Governor Patrick Khaemba, and will be capitalizing on the political nemesis\nbetween Ford Kenya leader Moses Wetang\u2019ula and Wamalwa who are currently not\nseeing each other eye to eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natembeya started working in 1996 as a District Officer (D.O)\nfor Kilgoris and after 10 years, he became the Personal Assistant of the late\nno nonsense Cabinet Minister John Michuki between 2005 \u2013 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe work you have seen me doing in Rift Valley and my style of administration I learnt from Mr Michuki. He was an early riser and by 6am, we were in the office and left at 9pm. I used to write his speeches, press releases and memos for him,\u201d said Natembeya in his resignation speech. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After 2008, he was promoted as District Commissioner in Muranga then later to Kamukunji, Isiolo and then Narok until 2019 when he was made the Rift Valley regional commissioner replacing Mongo Chimwaga who had been moved to the Office of the President at Harambee House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you have been given work to do, there is no need you go to a place where you as a security officer you have joined the locals and start crying with them instead of providing solutions for them. I told myself when i was the county commissioner in Muranga, we can't live in the same house with Mungiki, one of us had to go and I remained,\u201d said Natembeya. <\/code><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Natembeya credited himself f for ending the reign Mungiki militiamen in Muranga , saying that was only successful for being firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
