Makueni Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr. has launched a project monitoring and tracking system that will give residents and other stakeholders’ real-time information on the status of development projects.
This is in a bid to enhance transparency, accountability, and efficient service delivery in the county.
Speaking during the official launch of the system outside his Wote office on Tuesday, Mutula emphasised that the system will give real-time updates, progress tracking, and performance evaluation metrics, revolutionise management, and monitor projects in the county.
Consequently, he added that the system is a tool that will empower and provide timely project information, besides giving feedback to ensure the government delivers on the promises made and meets the expectations of the people.
“This system, which I proudly unveil today, represents a quantum leap in our efforts to enhance oversight, transparency, and efficiency in project management across our beloved county,” said Mutula.
The governor further said that the system will streamline project management processes and enhance decision-making capabilities, besides providing real-time data access, enabling prompt intervention and allocation of resources, and ensuring effective delivery of results.
The governor noted that the system will strengthen the oversight capabilities and accountability mechanisms for Members of County Assembly (MCAs) in ensuring projects are executed in line with the aspirations of the people.
Furthermore, he pointed out that the system will give a platform to the citizens, diaspora, and civil society organisations to participate in shaping the development agenda of the county.
Thus, the system opens new avenues for Makueni citizens and civil society organisations to contribute, collaborate, and make well-informed decisions, he added.
The governor was accompanied by four county executives, including Elizabeth Muli (education and ICT), Japheth Mang’oka (devolution), Eng. John Kasyoki Kieti (water), and Sabastian Kyoni (infrastructure).
