Nakuru County Assembly Speaker Mr Joel Karuri has called on devolved units to collaborate with the national government and other stakeholders in enacting effective policies and robust accountability mechanisms that are crucial for building climate resilience, so as to guarantee that actions taken to mitigate and adapt to climate change are both impactful and transparent.
Mr Karuri stated that ensuring climate actions are open and transparent was essential for building trust and enabling effective evaluation which in turn allows for learning, adaptation, and continuous improvement of the interventions.

The speaker made the remarks during a meeting with a team from the Commission on Administrative Justice (CAJ) led by Vice-Chair Ms.
