“This data will guide the county in making informed decisions that promote equitable resource allocation and strengthen our ability to serve the people of Kitui effectively,” he stated.

The initiative underscores the County Government’s dedication to fostering transparency and ensuring accessible, efficient services tailored to the needs of its citizens, aligning with Governor Dr. Julius Malombe’s vision for Kitui and reinforcing his administration’s pledge to create a foundation for sustainable development and equitable growth across all sectors.
