Strategic communication is no longer an option, it's a cornerstone of successful devolution. When citizens have timely, accurate and accessible information, they can meaningfully participate in governance, hold leaders accountable and shape the development agenda in their counties. As we strengthen devolution, Counties must embrace proactive, coordinated and citizen-centred communication that builds public trust and keeps development, not personalities, at the heart of the conversation. @TheStarKenya the-star.co.ke/opinion/star-b…

Authentic, values-driven leadership is the foundation of strong institutions and effective governance. Today, I encouraged County Solicitors to make legal services more accessible and responsive, while serving with humility, integrity and professionalism. As strategic advisors, they have a vital role in strengthening county governance, safeguarding devolution and delivering meaningful results for the people we serve. Present during the meeting were representatives from the Food and Agriculture Organization (@FAOKenya ), (GIZ), the Office of the Attorney General @AGOfficeKenya , the Commission on Administrative Justice, County Solicitors, representatives from the Urban Planning sector, among other stakeholders.

Building a world-class institution starts with learning from the best. Today, I held a fruitful meeting with Dr. Kevin Gichana of @katibainstitute on the operationalisation of the Devolution Training Institute (DTI). We explored governance structures, quality assurance, faculty development, e-learning and strengthening induction manuals to position DTI as Kenya's premier centre for devolution training and a regional hub of excellence. Our collaboration will also support capacity needs assessment, peer learning with the African School on Decentralisation and developing training programmes that respond to the evolving needs of county governments.

Consultative meeting with Savanna Global Institute to discuss the proposed County Joint Learning Network (C-JLN) in collaboration with the @KenyaGovernors Health Committee and the @maarifa_centre . The initiative will foster peer learning, knowledge exchange, and the adoption of evidence-based PHC solutions across Counties. We also agreed on key next steps, including refining the Year One work plan, aligning priorities with available resources and reviewing the MoU to expand the programme beyond the initial 10 Counties and maximise its impact on health service delivery. Looking forward to a wonderful implementation journey.

Devolution remains the most effective pathway for delivering community-driven climate solutions. Through the Financing Locally Led Climate Action (FLLoCA) Programme, counties have strengthened climate governance, expanded resilience investments, and empowered communities to lead locally driven climate action. As counties prepare for the next phase of climate financing, the focus is on strengthening climate institutions, expanding access to #ClimateFinance, and leveraging climate investments to drive resilience, green growth, job creation, and sustainable economic transformation.

Day 2 of our Annual Review Meeting focused on strengthening the foundations that support devolution—from assessing county fiscal performance and embracing digital transformation to enhancing the CoG brand and nurturing a strong organizational culture. The discussions reaffirmed the need for innovation, accountability, and collaboration as we continue supporting counties to deliver services more effectively. I am encouraged by the commitment and energy demonstrated by the team as we chart the next phase of our work.

This is a very inspiring day the the @KenyaGovernors secretariat. As we begin our Annual Review Meeting, I commend our Governors for their unwavering leadership, commitment, and resilience in advancing devolution and improving the lives of millions of Kenyans. Your guidance has enabled us to strengthen County Governments, defend devolved functions, and deliver impactful programmes across the country. Together, we have demonstrated that devolution works. As we reflect on our achievements and plan for the future, we remain committed to supporting counties and deepening devolution for a more equitable and prosperous Kenya.

The Council of Governors Secretariat has commenced its Annual Review Meeting to assess progress in implementing the Strategic Plan 2022–2027 and chart the way forward for the next Strategic Plan 2027–2032. This year, the Council of Governors Liaison Committee (Chairs of the Technical Committees and the Executive Leadership) is attending the meeting to take stock of achievements made so far, evaluate emerging priorities, and provide strategic guidance for the development of the next Strategic Plan 2027–2032. Speaking during the meeting, @CogChair @HEAhmedJiir commended the Secretariat for its commitment to advancing the devolution agenda and supporting county governments in delivering services to citizens. “Devolution has worked for Kenyans because of the dedication and hard work you continue to put in every day. Today, Kenya is a more equitable country courtesy of devolution. Continue supporting counties and safeguarding devolution against any form of encroachment,” he said. @CEOCOG highlighted key milestones realized under the current Strategic Plan, including strengthened support to counties, enhanced stakeholder partnerships, digital transformation initiatives, institutional rebranding, and continued advocacy for devolution. The CEO further observed that the Secretariat must prepare for emerging realities in the 2026–2027 period, including leadership transitions, election-year dynamics, increasing reliance on committee engagement, and resource mobilization pressures, while remaining focused on innovation, operational efficiency, strategic alertness, and high-impact interventions that advance devolution and improve service delivery for Kenyans. The annual review provides an important platform for reflection, learning, and strategic planning. It enables the Secretariat and the Council's leadership to assess the impact of their interventions, strengthen institutional effectiveness, and align future priorities with the evolving needs of county governments and the aspirations of Kenyans. The outcomes of the meeting will inform the development of a forward-looking Strategic Plan 2027–2032 aimed at deepening devolution, enhancing service delivery, and strengthening intergovernmental relations.

The two levels of Government remain committed to ensuring a sustainable and permanent solution for UHC workers. Today, the Council of Governors leadership met with the Ministry of Health to advance the transition of UHC staff from contract terms to Permanent and Pensionable (PnP) employment. The meeting resolved to pursue amendments to DORA and reclassify the allocated funds as sharable revenue to Counties, guaranteeing predictability and sustainability in staff remuneration. Once this process is concluded, UHC workers will be issued with PnP contracts.

Today, I led the inaugural consultative forum bringing together Facility In-Charges from health facilities implementing the National Equipment Service Programme (NESP), alongside partners from SHA, DHA, the Ministry of Health, and the NESP Programme Implementation Unit. NESP continues to transform healthcare delivery by expanding access to critical diagnostic, treatment, and specialized services through advanced medical equipment deployed across County health facilities. From laboratory services and imaging to theatre, dialysis and other specialized interventions, quality healthcare is now closer to wananchi. Our discussions focused on strengthening the Programme by addressing key issues around claims reimbursement, equipment maintenance, vendor payments, transparency, accountability, and the long-term sustainability of the financing model. Through collaboration, innovation and shared accountability, we remain committed to building a stronger and more sustainable NESP that delivers quality healthcare services and advances Universal Health Coverage across County Governments.

Today, I joined global partners at the IAPB 2030 Insight Live Side Event on unlocking funding opportunities to expand access to eye health care. The discussions reinforced that eye health, particularly addressing presbyopia, must be integrated into primary health care systems through community-based approaches, strong partnerships, data-driven decision-making, and government leadership. As counties continue strengthening healthcare delivery, we remain committed to supporting sustainable, people-centered interventions that bring vision screening and affordable eye care services closer to communities.

The signing of a landmark MOU between the Council of Governors and @bajeti_hub marks an important step in advancing good governance, citizen participation, and budget transparency across our Counties I wish to also congratulate all the County Governments that were feted today for their perfomance wonderful on transparency, accountability and prudent management of public resources.

The survey underscored the need for timely publication of budget information, stronger citizen budgets, and enhanced disclosure of capital projects to promote accountability and public participation. The occasion also marked the signing of a transformative MoU between CoG and Bajeti Hub to advance good governance, citizen engagement and budget transparency across counties. @bajeti_hub

The launch of the Every Woman, Every NewbornEverywhere (EWENE) and Maternal and Newborn Rapid Results Initiative, signals renewed resolve by both state and non-state actors to reduce preventable maternal and newborn deaths across the country. We must take deliberate action to translate the committments made into tangible improvements in maternal and newborn care.

Council of Governors@KenyaGovernors

Today, Governors led by the Council of Governors (CoG) Chair H.E FCPA Ahmed Abdullahi joined H.E President William Ruto for the launch of the Every Woman, Every Newborn, Everywhere (EWENE) and Maternal and Newborn Rapid Results Initiative. EWENE is a global initiative that seeks to end preventable maternal and newborn deaths by prioritizing high-impact, evidence-based interventions implemented at both National and County Government levels. Anchored on ten (10) strategic pillars, including: quality of care; policy and planning; gender and equity; data, monitoring and learning; health workforce; emergency preparedness, response and resilience; commodities and health technologies; financing; advocacy and accountability; and research and innovation, the initiative will be implemented across all 47 Counties. The event also marked the flag off of critical maternal medical equipment to 20 counties, a significant step aimed at improving maternal and newborn healthcare services. Both levels of governments reaffirmed their commitment to address the systemic gaps driving maternal and neonatal deaths, including delays in access to quality healthcare, while calling for a Whole of society approach in realizing the EWENE acceleration plan and RRI goals.
