Machakos residents have praised the draft Policy on National Government Village Administration as a transformative initiative for community development and coordination at the village level.
The Public participation forum that included village elders, youths, civil society and opinion leaders from the Lower Eastern region of Machakos, Makueni and Kitui was held at the Machakos University, where residents converged to give diverse opinions on the draft policy.
The County Commissioner Josephine Ouko hosted the forum, aimed at engaging village elders in discussions to onboard them into the National Governance Administrative infrastructure.
Ouko added that the facilitation, recognition and inclusion of village elders is set to improve relations and coordination between the national government and communities at grassroots level.
