CS Kagwe visits the Assembly Stand as 2026 ASK Show enters 3rd Day
The Nakuru County Assembly today hosted Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture and Livestock Development, Mutahi Kagwe, at its exhibition stand during the official opening of the 2026 National ASK Show at the Nakuru ASK Showgrounds.
The CS toured the Assembly's stand as members of the public continued to learn about the Assembly's legislative, oversight and representation roles through interactive civic education sessions.
Speaker Joel Karuri Maina said the exhibition has provided a valuable platform for the Assembly to engage wananchi, enhance public awareness of its constitutional mandate and strengthen citizen participation in legislative processes.
"The ASK Show gives us a unique opportunity to interact directly with wananchi, explain the work of the Assembly and encourage greater public participation in governance," said Speaker Karuri.
Mary Mureithi, a farmer from Nakuru, praised the Assembly's initiative, saying the engagement had helped her better understand how public participation influences policies that affect farmers.
"I now appreciate that the Assembly is not just about passing laws. It also gives citizens an opportunity to contribute to decisions that affect our livelihoods," she said.
Peter Chebon, a youth aspiring to elective leadership, said the exhibition had deepened his understanding of the Assembly's role in governance.
"As a young person interested in leadership, this has been an eye-opening experience. It has shown me the importance of legislation, oversight and involving citizens in decision-making," he said.
The five-day exhibition, which concludes on July 5, has enabled the Nakuru County Assembly to bring its services closer to the people while promoting civic education and meaningful public engagement.
