Kihika has been absent for months after taking maternity leave. In recent weeks, she was in the US.
In January, the Nakuru County boss noted that she was away from office duties, adding that the DG was in charge while she was away.
"Following numerous calls that I have received regarding my absence, as the elected Governor of Nakuru County, I want to, first of all, assure the people of Nakuru that I am well and currently on maternity leave," she stated.
"While thanking the people of Nakuru for their concern, I wholeheartedly assure them that service delivery in our Great County is proceeding as envisaged under the able guidance of the team led by the Deputy Governor, H.E. David Kones. I have no doubts whatsoever in H.E. Kones leading them in my absence."
