The Minister-designate of the Ministry of Local Government Francis Nyumalin has vowed to ensure that budgetary allocations to counties are managed in a transparent manner to benefit the citizenry. Nyumalin pointed out that true decentralization also requires strong collaboration among Ministries, Agencies, and Commissions (MACs) delivering services at County Service Centers (CSCs). He stated that local governance structures must serve as platforms for dialogue, reconciliation, and conflict prevention. Nyumalin pledged that local councils at county and sub-county levels will be operationalized to manage development planning, budgeting, and service delivery. He maintained that the Board will hopefully ensure that local government financing is equitable, transparent, and aligned with national development priorities.
