Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua put two county executives on three months' compulsory leave in cabinet changes announced on Thursday.
Mutua sent Francis Maliti (Water) and Larry Wambua (Public Service) on leave amid the changes which he said are over lethargy, corruption, insubordination, sabotage and laxity.
