The Vice Chair of the Council of Governors, H.E Mwangi Wa Iria, on 21st January 2019 led the resource mobilization sub-committee of the 6th Annual Devolution Conference in seeking partnerships and support for the upcoming conference from that will be held in March 2019 in Kirinyaga County the members of the Private Sector and Development partners.
Speaking during the meeting, he noted the 6th Annual Devolution Conference has unique structures and objectives that are aligned to the Big Four Agenda which define the priority of the Government of Kenya and offers immense opportunity for collaboration between the two levels of Government in accelerating service delivery, catalysing local economic growth and creating employment opportunities for women and youth in the counties.
He added that, the conference is a key milestone in the history of Devolution as counties are keen to measure the progress made so far in service delivery to citizens and establishing the basic infrastructure, institutions and systems for facilitating efficiency in the counties. “The Conference will not be a talk show, it’s about seeing measurable and tangible results of activities and projects happening in the counties.” He said.
In lieu of the importance and impact previous Devolution Conferences have had, he appealed to the Development Partners and the Private Sector to support this year’s Devolution Conference as the forum will be an ideal opportunity for partners to scope for opportunities that will assist them achieve their programmatic, development and investment goals.
The institutions were encouraged to interact with the sector leads to look at the areas of interest that their institutions would be keen in partnering in. Among the institutions that were present from the meeting, some were able to pledge support in the upcoming conference and the rest were encouraged to firm up their commitment as soon as possible as the conference dates were nearing.
