The @KenyaGovernors continues to advance gender equality and women’s empowerment through initiatives such as the National Women Leaders’ Convening, assessment of County interventions promoting women’s participation in governance, and the development of County Gender Data Sheets to strengthen evidence-based decision-making.
Earlier today, I highlighted these interventions during the National Gender Sector Working Group meeting at Safari Park Hotel, alongside ongoing efforts to establish the Gender, Culture and Children Services Intergovernmental Forum to enhance intergovernmental coordination.
I underscored the importance of nurturing more women leaders who can break barriers and create opportunities for others, while calling for renewed commitment to preventing and responding to SGBV as we approach the 16 Days of Activism.
Counties must use social media to engage with Kenyans properly
Thank you @PeopleDailyKe for publishing this wonderful opinion

Access to quality surgical care should not be determined by where one lives.
Today, I led the Council of Governors team in a meeting with @Proximie Global Health, led by Dr. Shannon Shibata-Germanos, Head of Global Health, to review progress in the Counties and the impact of digital technology in strengthening access to specialised surgical care.
We noted encouraging progress in Murang’a, Kilifi and Makueni, where the Proximie platform is enabling senior surgeons to provide real-time guidance to colleagues during complex surgical procedures, helping improve patient outcomes and save lives.
Our focus remains on leveraging innovation, partnerships and technology to ensure that every Kenyan, regardless of location, can access safe and quality surgical care.
County Governments play a central role in project planning, implementation, coordination and community engagement. The success of the Kenya Watershed Services Improvement Project (KEWASIP), launched earlier today, will to a significant extent be determined by strengthened systems at the County level, enhanced intergovernmental coordination, the concerted efforts of all implementing agencies and stakeholders.
The official launch of the Kenya Watershed Services Improvement Project (KEWASIP) is more than the commencement of a development project.
It marks an important milestone in our collective efforts to restore degraded landscapes, strengthen watershed management, enhance climate resilience and improve community livelihoods.
The 5-year @WorldBankKenya funded project, is expected to restore approximately 200,000 hectares of degraded landscapes and 750,000 beneficiaries across five priority watersheds in 12 Counties.
Community participation, accountability and sustainability are central to this project. The Council of Governors reaffirms its commitment to strengthen intergovernmental collaboration, support County Governments and work closely with communities to ensure the effective implementation of the project and timely delivery of planned interventions.
Behind every maternal and newborn death is a sobering reminder of the work that remains to be done. Our collective commitment must translate into action that saves lives and transforms health outcomes. Investing in maternal and newborn health is investing in the future of our communities.
The signing of the MoU between @KenyaGovernors and the Beginnings Fund reaffirms our shared commitment to strengthen health systems and improve maternal and newborn health outcomes in Kenya. Realizing these outcomes requires the concerted efforts of all stakeholders, including both levels of government and partners.
We are confident that this initiative will deliver real impact for mothers and newborns across Kenya.
Human capital is the greatest asset of any institution, and HR professionals are central to shaping the institutions we aspire to build.
Value must be reflected in meritocracy, honesty and fairness in recruitment, promotion and performance management. Authenticity demands consistency between what we promise and what we deliver, building institutions and brands that inspire trust. Influence is measured by how we lead, engage and empower the people we serve.
As the Council of Governors advances the devolution agenda, we must build a public service culture rooted in integrity, professionalism and people-centred leadership. Transformation begins with how we treat our people and the values we uphold every day.
Our journey towards a first-world Kenya depends on institutions that are not only effective, but also trusted by the people they serve.

County Governments must place human capital at the centre of their transformation agenda, investing in the skills, productivity and leadership needed to deliver quality services to citizens
Speaking at the 30th Annual @Ihrm_Kenya Conference in Naivasha, themed “From Vision to the First World: Human Capital Powering Kenya’s Transformation,” the @CogChair H.E Muthomi Njuki emphasized that the true measure of government is not the policies developed or institutions established, but the quality of services delivered and the impact on citizens’ lives.
He noted that county governments must invest in continuous staff training, skills development, workforce planning and performance management to ensure public servants are equipped to meet the needs of wananchi.
He also called for greater accountability, professionalism and integrity in public service, emphasizing that performance, merit and ethical leadership must guide decision-making. Rather than focusing on the size of the workforce, counties must prioritize productivity, prudent use of resources and measurable outcomes as well as build people-centred governments capable of turning Kenya's vision of a first world into reality.
The Chairperson further underscored the importance of constructive engagement between employers and workers, as well as stronger collaboration between the National and County Governments to ensure sustainable workforce management and effective delivery of devolved functions.
Through the operationalization of the Devolution Training Institute, the Council of Governors seeks to strengthen the capacity of county officials through demand-driven, competency-based training.

Allow me to reintroduce myself! 😄🎓 Call me CHRP Mary Mwiti, EBS
Today, I graduated with the Certified Human Resource Professional (CHRP-K) qualification, marking another milestone in my professional journey.
I believe that learning never stops. No matter how far we go in our careers, there is always room to grow, learn and become better leaders.
Grateful for this achievement and looking forward to applying the knowledge gained in service to our institution and the devolution agenda.
On to the next chapter! #CHRPcertificationCeremony
Following our successful meeting with women leaders and candidates ahead of the 2027 General Elections, I held a follow-up meeting with Ms. Daisy Amdany, Executive Director of @crawntrustkenya , to translate the resolutions of the meeting into concrete action.
The engagement focused on strengthening collective efforts to advance women’s political leadership, enhance their representation in decision-making, and increase the number of women in leadership positions.
Our goal is to build synergies, advance a unified women’s agenda, and translate collective commitments into tangible progress in women’s leadership and representation.
Combating illicit alcohol and drug abuse requires strong intergovernmental coordination, effective enforcement and active community participation.
Today, I joined the Intergovernmental Sector Forum chaired by H.E. Deputy President Prof. @_KithureKindiki , where we deliberated on measures to strengthen licensing, harmonise county regulations and sustain intelligence-led operations against illicit alcohol networks.
As @KenyaGovernors, we recognise the critical role of County Governments in enforcement, public education and community mobilisation. Through coordinated action with the National Government and relevant agencies, we can strengthen public health safeguards and protect our communities from the harmful effects of illicit alcohol and drug abuse.
