The government is creating a Sub County in Makueni County.
Interior Cabinet Secretary (CS) Dr. Fred Matiang’i made the announcement Thursday at Kikima Mixed Secondary school in Mbooni Sub County, where he said one more administrative unit will be hived from Nzaui Sub County due to the vastness of the area.
He stated that the move will improve service delivery for residents in the area, as well as reduce the burden chiefs or their assistants currently feel.
“We have agreed with your leaders to divide Nzaui Sub County into two due to its vastness. I am ready to gazette it on Monday,” noted Matiang’i.
Therefore, the CS challenged local leaders and asked them to agree on the headquarters for the proposed Sub-county so that he can immediately send a deputy county commissioner to ensure efficient delivery of services to wananchi.
Prof. Kivutha Kibwana from Makueni, the Governor, praised the government’s creation of the new administrative unit. He stated that the people will now be able to access services closer at home, which will reduce travel expenses.
“We appreciate you CS Matiang’i because everywhere you go, you solve issues affecting residents instantly. This is the kind of leadership we need,” said Kibwana.
