West Pokot County embarked on an extensive two-day public participation initiative, reaching each of the 20 wards to gather residents' views on how government funds will be allocated for the fiscal year 2025/2026.
This ambitious outreach programme aims to ensure that the voices of all residents are heard in the decision-making processes as enshrined in the 2010 Constitution.
Speaking at the Siyoi and Kapenguria Wards during the County Budget and Economic Forums (CBEF) chaired by the County Executive Committee Members (CECMs), the participants acknowledged the role being played by the government in ensuring that development projects meet the residents' expectations.
CECM Public Service Management (PSM), ICT, Administration, and Devolved Units Martin Lotee and his and his Water, Environment, Natural Resources and Climate Change counterpart William Petot as state actors, thanked the residents for their active participation and invaluable input. "We are truly grateful for your presence and for the opinions you've shared.
