I extend my sincere appreciation to Mohamed Abdullahi, outgoing Chief Executive Officer of the Isiolo County Public Service Board, as he proceeds on terminal leave upon the successful completion of his six-year tenure.
Over the course of his service, he has provided steady leadership and commitment to strengthening public service delivery within our county. His contribution has been valuable to the institutional growth of the Board and the broader County Government of Isiolo.
On behalf of the County Government and the people of Isiolo, I convey our gratitude for his dedicated service and wish him good health, fulfillment, and success in his next chapter.
In the interim, I note the assumption of office by Habadaso Gufu as Acting CEO and extend my confidence in her ability to ensure continuity, stability, and effective service delivery within the operations of the Board. I am assured that she will uphold the standards of professionalism and steer the institution forward during this transition period.
Met with the Isiolo Central Hawkers Association, led by Chairman Fredrick Kiara, for a constructive engagement focused on their welfare and the challenges they encounter in their day-to-day business operations. The meeting provided an important platform to listen to their concerns and strengthen collaboration with this vital sector.
We held open and candid discussions on key issues, including access to designated trading spaces, enforcement concerns, sanitation and waste management, access to affordable credit, and the need for a more structured and supportive operating environment. These conversations were aimed at identifying practical and sustainable solutions to improve their working conditions.
We remain committed to working closely with the association to address their concerns in a fair and progressive manner, while maintaining order and promoting economic development within our towns.

I'm completely moved by this kid's determination to help a stranger find their way 🥲.
This boy will probably become a teacher when he grows up.
He mentioned the following places that he believed were landmarks:
1. Kwa Mbae
2. Kwa kina Mwenda
3. Kwa Uncle Murithi
4. "Kwetu, hapo katikati"
With four landmarks, which should have been more than enough to give clear directions, the person still didn’t understand. Yet the boy was willing to personally go and show him the exact place.
I pray that good fortune will befall the said humble family, courtesy of this wonderful kid.

Joined the family of the CEO, @KenyaGovernors, alongside colleague Governors led by Chairperson H.E. @HEAhmedJiir in Buuri, Meru County, as we mourned and laid to rest their beloved matriarch, Mama Josephine Kagwiria Guantai.
Mama Josephine will be remembered for her steadfast service to the Church, her dedication to community service, and her unwavering commitment to upholding strong family values. These virtues are clearly reflected in her children, including Ms. Mwiti, who continues to serve with great dedication and efficiency.
May her soul rest in eternal peace.
Congratulations to my sister, Josphine Kirion Eragae, on your appointment as a Member of the @NCIC_Kenya.
Your dedication and service to this nation have truly earned you this well-deserved opportunity.
We sincerely thank His Excellency President @WilliamsRuto for appointing one of our own to such a vital national institution.
As you take up this important role, I urge you to serve all Kenyans diligently, with integrity and with a strong commitment to fostering unity and cohesion across our country.
For a long time, the people of Iresaboru have endured a severe shortage of safe and reliable water, a challenge that has posed a serious risk to the health and well-being of residents.
It is against this backdrop that we commenced Phase I of a transformative water project, involving the construction of a 17-kilometre pipeline from Old Iresaboru to the New Iresaboru settlement, installation of a 75 cubic metre elevated steel tank, fencing of the borehole and rehabilitation of the existing borehole to restore its functionality. I am pleased to note that this phase has now been successfully completed, with water pumped to the new settlement for the first time, establishing a reliable supply system and strengthening overall water infrastructure.
Phase II, which is now underway, will include the extension of the pipeline by an additional 2 kilometres, construction of four water kiosks within the Iresaboru settlement to enhance accessibility and installation of a solar-powered system at the borehole to ensure a sustainable and cost-effective water supply.
This project marks a major milestone in expanding access to clean, safe and reliable water for the people of Iresaboru, while supporting families who relocated due to flood risks to rebuild stable and healthier lives. It also underscores our commitment to dignified resettlement, improved service delivery and enhanced livelihoods for the community.

Isiolo County has secured a significant legal victory following a High Court ruling that nullified the purported transfer of Onsalat Sub-location to Wajir County. The judgment effectively restores the area to Isiolo and safeguards the County’s administrative boundaries.
In its determination, the Court declared the decision to alter the status of Onsalat unconstitutional, null and void. The Judge found that the process was undertaken without public participation, in clear violation of key constitutional principles on governance, transparency and the right to fair administrative action.
The Court further underscored the serious implications such a move would have had on residents, noting that it would have compelled them to travel over 300 kilometers to Wajir to access essential government services, including the issuance of national identification cards and birth certificates.
This landmark judgment not only preserves the territorial integrity of Isiolo County but also ensures that critical public services remain accessible to its people. It further protects the political and socio-economic rights of residents whose identity and representation are inherently tied to the County.
Importantly, the ruling sets a firm legal precedent that any alteration of administrative or county boundaries must strictly comply with constitutional requirements, including meaningful public participation and adherence to due process.
