The County Assembly of Nakuru is working on a new bill aimed at enhancing transparency in the devolved unit's institutional operations.
According to the County Assembly, the Nakuru Information Bill 2025 if passed into law, is expected to give the residents legal right to access information held by the county government's institutions.
The proposed bill was sponsored by County Deputy Speaker, who is also a Member for County Assembly (MCA) for Nakuru East Ward, Anthony Kamau Kanyere alias Geru.
Beyond granting access, the bill outlines a clear framework requiring public entities to disclose the information they hold, both proactively and upon request in accordance with the constitutional principles of transparency and accountability. "The bill will also protect whistleblowers who share information in the public interest and in good faith.
