Devolution conference in Makueni to proceed
The upcoming 7th devolution conference scheduled to take place at Makueni Boys High School between August 23 and 26 will proceed as planned.
Making the announcement Thursday during a media briefing, Devolution CS Eugene Wamalwa said the number of delegates has been scaled down from 6000 to 1000 with the rest expected to participate virtually.
The governors said the event happening in the wake of rising Covid-19 cases will be held in strict compliance with the health Covid-19 protocols.
Besides, the Council of Governors revealed that all the conference delegates have been fully vaccinated.
The county bosses have also resolved that going forward the forum will be held after every two years to allow ample time for implementation of resolutions and feedback.
The conference whose theme is climate change received the nod, a day after leaders from the county called for its postponement due to an upsurge of Covid-19 cases in the County.
Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo and Makueni Constituency Member of Parliament Daniel Maanzo had called for the postponment of the event citing rising cases of Covid 19.
