Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has issued a stern warning to government institutions over what he described as the slow implementation of decisions made during recent Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC) meetings.
Speaking during a meeting with senior officials from both national and county governments, Kindiki expressed concern that despite some progress, many institutions were lagging behind in executing agreed resolutions.
“We have seen some progress in implementing IBEC decisions, but it is not enough; we must do better. This is a high-level meeting bringing together all levels of government, and there is no reason for institutions to delay implementation,” the Deputy President said.
Kindiki emphasized that IBEC serves as a critical platform for fostering cooperation between the national and county governments, particularly in areas of budget allocation, revenue sharing, and development planning. He urged all government agencies to adhere to the timelines set during the council’s deliberations to ensure efficient service delivery and accountability.
The Deputy President’s remarks come amid growing calls for improved coordination between the two levels of government to accelerate national development and strengthen fiscal management.
