Today Governors joined H.E. the Deputy President Prof. Kithure Kindiki for a high-level consultative meeting to fast-track the commissioning and operationalisation of the first cohort of 8 County Aggregation and Industrial Parks (CAIPs).

The focus was on closing the remaining gaps in critical enabling infrastructure, including access roads, electricity, water, ICT connectivity, sewerage and waste management, to ensure the parks are ready to drive value addition, attract investment and create jobs.

The meeting brought together Governors from Garissa, Embu, Busia, Kisii and Migori, the Deputy Governor of Kirinyaga County and CEO COG Ms. Mary Mwiti, EBS.

The priority now is to close the remaining gaps, meet the agreed commissioning timelines and move these investments from infrastructure to production, creating opportunities for local value addition, investment and employment across our counties.

For 20 years, AGRA has been part of Africa’s journey to transform agriculture and build stronger food systems.

At the AGRA@20 celebrations in Nairobi, CoG Agriculture Committee Chair H.E. Rt. Hon. Kenneth Makelo Lusaka recognised AGRA’s contribution to strengthening County systems and advancing agricultural transformation.

Across our Counties, this transformation is taking shape through initiatives such as the County Aggregation and Industrial Parks (CAIPs), which are opening pathways for value addition, stronger markets and greater opportunities for farmers to commercialize their produce.

Speaking during a panel session, CEO COG Mary Mwiti, underscored that the next chapter must go further towards building food systems that are productive, profitable, resilient and sustainable.

The future of agriculture must be more market- and income-driven, technology- and data-enabled, and locally owned.

As AGRA marks 20 years, we celebrate the progress made while renewing our commitment to partnerships that put farmers and communities at the centre of Africa’s agricultural transformation.

Governors led by the Chairman, FCPA H.E Ahmed Abdullahi EGH, today joined H.E. Deputy President Prof. Kithure Kindiki and other stakeholders at a Special Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC) meeting to address pressing issues affecting the health sector across the Counties.

At the heart of the discussions were the transfer of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) staff to County Governments, implementation of the 12th National and County Governments Summit resolutions on payment of SHA statutory deductions, and the ongoing industrial action by nurses across the Counties.

The meeting provided an opportunity for the National and County Governments, together with other stakeholders, to engage on practical steps towards resolving the outstanding issues and restoring stability within the health sector. Cooperation between the two levels of government remains critical to protecting the gains made in healthcare and ensuring that devolution delivers quality services closer to the people.

On , we celebrate the Constitution of Kenya 2010, a transformative milestone that gave birth to a new governance architecture anchored on devolution, equity, inclusion and accountable leadership.

Devolution brought government and resources closer to the people, giving Counties the opportunity to respond to local priorities and deliver services more effectively.

Today, we celebrate a Constitution that continues to shape a more inclusive, equitable and people-centred Kenya.

The Council of Governors (CoG), led by Chairperson H.E. FCPA Ahmed Abdullahi, today held a consultative meeting with the Deputy President H.E Prof. Kithure Kindiki to fast-track the finalization and operationalization of County Aggregation and Industrial Parks (CAIPs).
Eight County Governments, including Meru, Embu, Kirinyaga, Kisii, Busia, Migori, Garissa and Wajir, have achieved over 90% completion of construction works, with the focus now shifting to its full operationalization.

The engagement agreed on clear, time-bound actions between the National and County Governments to address outstanding bottlenecks and ensure CAIPs deliver on their promise of value addition, enterprise development, employment and expanded market access.

The Kenya Health Summit 2026 has laid a strong foundation for strengthening Kenya’s health systems and advancing the delivery of quality, equitable and accessible healthcare for all. Through the thought-provoking discussions, practical and lived experiences, innovations and solutions shared, one thing is clear: we have made significant progress, but there is still more to be done.
The Summit has reaffirmed the progress Kenya continues to make towards achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC), while also providing an important platform to confront the challenges that remain. Ultimately, however, the success of ongoing health reforms must be measured not only by policies, programmes and investments, but by the quality of services and health outcomes experienced by Kenyans in their homes, communities and health facilities.
The Council of Governors remains committed to working collaboratively with the National Government, development partners, healthcare workers, communities and all stakeholders to translate the gains and commitments emerging from the Summit into tangible improvements in health service delivery.

Kenya's 2010 Constitution birthed devolution, one of the most transformative and progressive frameworks of our time. It redefined governance by bringing governments closer to the people, reshaped the distribution of power and resources and opened new pathways for inclusive development.
The Council of Governors appreciates the role of Law Society of Kenya in advocating for effective implementation of devolved governance and looks forward to strengthened engagements and collaboration going forward.
Key focus areas include: legal aid and public legal awareness across Counties; public interest litigation; electoral preparedness; joint capacity-building and county training programmes and; undertaking an audit of the constitution and devolution to assess the progress, challenges, claw backs and emerging issues.
