The conference featured various sessions and discussions on topics ranging from healthcare and education to infrastructure, performance contracting in public service and economic empowerment.
On the side-lines, Governor Mutula said the conference should emphasise on what has not been done in the past 10 years, and going forward what the people needs are.
“The gains of devolutions need to be celebrated. However, although there is no delay in realising funds to counties but I want the national government to ensure there is increase in funds to counties,” said Governor Mutula
