Kitui County Government will roll out the ward development committees to enhance devolution and service delivery to the residents.
Speaking at Mutonguni in Kitui West on Saturday, Governor Malombe said the ward development committees will be key in fast-tracking growth at the lowest levels in the county.
“We will establish the ward development committees across the county to support devolution. The committee members will be selected by the community to guarantee the right persons are selected,” he said.
The grassroots units will be key in streamlining governance by spearheading and informing on matters which touch on issues affecting different wards.
A case study of counties that have embraced this initiative is Garissa and Nyandarua where the units help in decision-making by making recommendations to the county leadership on issues affecting the people.
In Kitui, the rolling out of the ward committees will be one of the comprehensive mechanisms of monitoring and assessing the government projects at the grassroots.
