Deputy Governors Forum to prioritise welfare
Speaking during a forum meeting in Nanyuki, Kamuri pledged to continue championing the welfare of deputy governors. He said they still face challenges and frustrations while carrying out their duties, including difficulties involving some county bosses.
The chairperson also outlined plans to strengthen deputy governors’ role in promoting effective service delivery. He said the forum would prioritise those efforts alongside improving the performance of devolved units.
Beyond the welfare of his colleagues, Kamuri called for joint efforts to boost economic activity across counties. He said functional devolved governments were essential to driving development and improving residents’ livelihoods.
His priorities therefore span both the challenges deputy governors face in office and their contribution to county performance. Kamuri linked stronger county government operations to better services and economic progress for residents.
