“As part of our continued commitment to supporting our people and ensuring that no resident is denied emergency healthcare because of financial constraints, I am pleased to announce that, through the provisions of the new Finance Bill, all internal ambulance transfers for Makueni residents within the county will be offered free of charge effective 1st July 2026. To enhance accountability, efficiency, and patient safety, the County Government, in partnership with ENI, will implement a comprehensive ambulance tracking system. This initiative will help monitor ambulance movements, curb fuel misuse, drunk driving, promote responsible driving practices, and ensure that emergency response services are delivered effectively and efficiently. This intervention reflects our government’s enduring commitment to providing compassionate, accessible, and people centred healthcare for every household across Makueni County.” Governor Mutula kilonzo Jr. revealed in his speech during Madaraka Day celebrations.

Four Women Self Groups in Makueni County have received a total of KSh 4.7 million to spearhead community-based water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) projects, as part of a broader initiative aimed at promoting climate justice and sustainable resource management.
The funding, provided through the Water Justice Fund from SIMAVI, is being implemented by the Neighbours Initiative Alliance, in collaboration with the Makueni County Government. The project seeks to empower women as key agents in water stewardship through locally led climate adaptations.
As part of the initiative, the women underwent a two-day training focused on building their capacity in WASH and water resource management.
The training equipped participants with practical skills to effectively plan, manage, and sustain water and sanitation efforts in their communities. It also seeks to enhance the role of women in WASH, environmental sanitation, and catchment conservation to support thriving communities.
Four athletes from Makueni County have earned spots on Kenya’s national paravolleyball team that will represent the country at the 2026 International Paravolleyball Championship in China.
The four – Purity Mueni, Florence Manza, Caroline Mueni, and Everline Mutuku—were selected to join the 12-member national squad after delivering standout performances during the national trials held in Wote, Makueni, from Thursday 4th to Saturday 6th December 2025.
Makueni County Sports Director Ambrose Kisoi congratulated the athletes, describing their achievement as a result of the county’s substantial investment in sports, particularly under the leadership of Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr. He noted that the administration’s commitment to talent development and inclusion continues to create opportunities for athletes with disabilities.
Food fortification is the process of adding essential vitamins and minerals to everyday foods to improve health and prevent nutrition-related diseases.
With this in focus, fortifying food has emerged as one of the simplest and most effective ways to curb nutrition-related health risks.
On Friday, the Government of Makueni County in partnership with the Ministry of Health with support from the World Food Programme completed a three-day forum in Machakos to advance new strategies for public awareness on fortified foods.
The discussions that involved officers from Public Health and Agriculture departments focused on helping households, county government leadership and community stakeholders understand the value of consuming nutrient-enhanced foods, especially in preventing hidden hunger and boosting overall health.
During the forum, WFP also trained on sustainable approaches that Makueni can adopt to ensure long-term access and behaviour change on nutritious foods.
Additionally, the partnership aims to equip communities with knowledge that supports healthier, more resilient families.

The Government of Makueni County is making significant strides in strengthening water security through the Financing Locally-Led Climate Action (FLLoCA) Programme, with two major water infrastructure projects nearing completion in Mavindini and Kitise wards.
In Mavindini Ward, the Ksh 13 million Athi–Mavindini Water Project is now 95 percent complete. Once operational, it will benefit more than 6,500 residents by reducing the distance to water sources. The works include construction of a 100m³ sump, rehabilitation of the rising main and water treatment plant, installation of four kilometres of irrigation pipeline with 40 tees, and three kilometres of distribution pipeline. CCTV cameras and security lighting have also been installed to safeguard the facility against vandalism.
In Kitise Ward, construction of the Ksh 15 million Londokwe Earth Dam has reached 92 percent completion under Phase I. The works include excavation of the reservoir, construction of a 180-metre embankment and a 120-metre spillway. Upon completion later this month, the dam will store more than 60,000 cubic metres of water, improving access for domestic use, livestock watering and other livelihood activities.
The two projects reflect the County Government’s continued investment in climate-resilient water infrastructure, improving access to safe and reliable water while supporting livelihoods and sustainable development across Makueni
