MAKUENI COUNTY CHARTS NEW ENERGY FUTURE THROUGH INNOVATIVE POLICY

Makueni County is turning a new page in energy access with its innovative County Energy Policy—shaped by the voices of its people!

Through the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Public Works, Housing and Energy, the county government has concluded a three-day citizen validation of the draft policy to ensure it reflects the real needs, priorities, and aspirations of local communities.

Anchored in the national Energy Act 2019 and the Constitution of Kenya, the policy provides a framework to guide the county in planning, regulating, and implementing sustainable energy solutions.

The policy has been developed in collaboration with World Resources Institute (WRI), Strathmore University, UK PACT and Just Energy Transition Africa, with a vision to enhance access to sustainable, adequate, affordable, competitive, secure, reliable and modern energy to meet the needs of the people of Makueni.

MAKUENI COUNTY ARTS, CULTURE AND HERITAGE POLICY

This County Arts, Culture and Heritage policy is timely and addresses rich areas of our cultural and natural heritage that has been handed down from time immemorial. The policy presents the rich and vast endowments of the County in its cultural and natural heritage and outlines ways in which we can harness these for the socio-economic development of our people. We are convinced that working with partners such as the National Museums of Kenya (NMK) with whom we signed a memorandum of understanding recently, we will make progress in this endeavour.
