I made an impromptu visit to Ward 9 at Machakos County Referral Hospital to assess service delivery and interact with patients and healthcare workers.
I commend the facility management and healthcare staff for their professionalism, dedication, and commitment to patient welfare. The orderly environment and quality of care reflect the progress we are making in strengthening our health sector.
I remain dedicated to investing in healthcare infrastructure, equipment, and personnel to ensure our residents continue to receive dignified, efficient, and accessible healthcare services.
Today at Machakos County Level 5 Hospital, a regional referral facility serving the Lower Eastern region, I launched the issuance of prosthetic limbs to 68 beneficiariesโ58 from Machakos County and 10 from other counties. A further 200 people will benefit in the coming phase.
Through this initiative, Machakos County becomes the first county in the Lower Eastern region to offer these specialized services. We will also devolve them to all Level 4 health facilities across the county to improve access.
This programme will restore mobility, independence, dignity, and hope to beneficiaries, enabling them to participate fully in social and economic activities. I thank SwissAbility for their partnership in making this initiative possible.
Led an award-giving ceremony at Machakos County Referral Hospital to recognize the best-performing healthcare staff across various departments, together with departmental heads, in appreciation of their outstanding service and dedication.
I appreciate you for your dedication and commitment to quality healthcare delivery. Your hard work has not only improved service delivery but has also earned the facility recognition and awards on various occasions.
I remain committed to prioritising your welfare so that you are even more empowered to continue delivering quality and dignified healthcare to our people.
@Wavinya_Ndeti True urban transformation isn't just about what's above the ground, but also the critical infrastructure beneath it. This project will elevate living standards across the municipality for decades to come.
Inspected the Machakos Sewerage Project, which is currently 86.5% complete. The project entails the laying of 65 kilometres of sewer lines and the construction of a wastewater treatment plant with a daily capacity of 6,500 cubic metres.
Upon completion, this transformative investment will significantly enhance sanitation services for more than 150,000 residents of Machakos Township and its environs, including Muvuti/Kiima Kimwe, Kimutwa, Mumbuni North, Katheka Kai, Mua, and Mutituni. The project is expected to improve public health outcomes, protect the environment, and elevate urban living standards across the region.
I commend the Athi Water Works Development Agency for its partnership and unwavering support in the implementation of this critical infrastructure project, which will have a lasting impact on the lives of our people.
The young people of this country are the ones that will save this country. Once we return to the values of meritocracy in public service, such talent will not go to waste.
This afternoon I hosted a delegation of leaders from Narok County Assembly who paid me a courtesy call at the SKM Command Centre.
We held a consultative discussion on governance matters and other key issues affecting Narok County, with a focus on development priorities, service delivery, and the political direction ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The delegation was led by Narok Deputy Speaker Isaak Dapash and included MCAs Francis Kuyioni, Christine Lemein and Gideon Sayianta, alongside WPF Nairobi Caucus Chairperson Diana Kapeen and WPF Executive Director Benson Milai.
I remain committed to strengthening engagement, fostering unity of purpose, and building structured mobilisation as we advance towards the 2027 general elections.
Concluded my second day of the development tour at Iluvya area in Muvuti/Kiima Kimwe Ward, where together with residents, we assessed the development projects that my administration has implemented and discussed the projects we are planning to undertake in the area.
Guided by the Chakula Mezani, Pesa Mfukoni clarion call, we remain committed to implementing people-centered development projects that create opportunities, improve livelihoods, enhance service delivery, and deliver tangible benefits to our communities.
@Wavinya_Ndeti True transparency builds public trust, and a perfect score shows that the county administration respects the taxpayer and values accountability.
Machakos County has been recognized by Bajeti Hub for its commitment to transparency, accountability, and sound public financial management.
The county has been ranked 9th nationally among Kenya's top-performing counties in the 2025 County Budget Transparency Survey and attained a 100% score in the 2023/2024 County Budget Review and Outlook Paper, earning recognition for publishing the most comprehensive County Budget Review and Outlook Paper.
This achievement reflects our dedication to open governance, prudent use of public resources, and meaningful public participation in development. It is a testament to the collective efforts of our staff, stakeholders, and residents who continue to support our vision for a transparent, accountable, and citizen-centered county government.
I thank Bajeti Hub for this recognition and reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that every public resource delivers value to our citizens through improved service delivery and sustainable development.
@Wavinya_Ndeti Honoring our freedom fighters means dedicating ourselves to the hard work and resilience needed to build a prosperous future for the next generation.
