MAKUENI LAUNCHES PUBLIC FORUMS FOR 2026/27 DEVELOPMENT PLAN

Makueni County has kicked off a two-day countywide public participation exercise to shape its Annual Development Plan for the 2026/27 financial year.

The forum, Which officially opened on Thursday at Wote Green Park, drew residents who shared their views with a team of officers in finance led by CECM Damaris Kavoi.

In her remarks, Kavoi noted that such strong turnouts reflect a community deeply invested in its own development, a value that Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr’s administration continues to uphold by prioritizing citizen-driven proposals in policy and project implementation.

Held in line with the Public Finance Management Act, 2012, and Article 220(2) of the Constitution of Kenya, the meetings provide an opportunity for residents to voice their priorities and guide resource allocation.

The exercise continues on Friday across multiple venues in all 30 wards of Makueni.
