Mr. Meli further underscored the role of administrators in strengthening devolution and enhancing public participation, noting that effective engagement with citizens remains central to responsive governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

He urged officers to ensure that government services are delivered efficiently and in line with established procedures, reinforcing trust between the public and leadership.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

County Executive Committee Member of Devolution and Public Administration Mrs. Loice Murrey challenged administrators to fully embrace the \u201cNguzo Kumi\u201d blueprint as a guiding framework for service delivery and governance at the grassroots level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She encouraged officers not to shy away from responsibility but to take ownership of their roles in advancing county priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She raised concern over the level of understanding and sensitisation of the Nguzo Kumi agenda within the wards, urging administrators to intensify awareness and implementation efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mrs. Murrey also cautioned officers to adhere strictly to the code of conduct, warning against any behaviour that may lead to reputational or professional embarrassment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chief Officer of Administration
Ruth Samoei reaffirmed the county\u2019s commitment to supporting administrators in delivering their mandate effectively at the ward level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She noted that the success of government programmes depends on strong coordination, mobilisation, and execution at the grassroots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samoei highlighted the importance of integrated performance management for administrators, noting that the Directorate of Training and Performance Management, led by Mr. Josephat Rotich, plays a key role in strengthening capacity and accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CO Samoei emphasized the need for performance contracts as a tool to improve service delivery, ensuring that top-level managers are accountable for results and, in turn, cascade that accountability within their teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She further outlined the key stages of the performance contract process and what it entails, noting that clear targets and continuous evaluation are essential for achieving results-driven leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Director of Administration, Samwel Kiptoo, reminded the officers of the importance of adhering to the rules and guidelines that govern behaviour, communication, and task execution within government structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
