On Monday, Siaya County officially marked the handover and takeover of County Executive Committee (CEC) Member for Governance, Administration, and ICT.<\/p>\n

The ceremony signaled a renewed focus on governance, digital transformation, and improved grassroots service delivery. The event was attended by the outgoing CECM, CS. Agunda Ochanda, and the incoming CECM, Mr. Joseph Rading Otieno, alongside senior staff from the department.<\/p>\n

In his address, Mr. Rading emphasized that governance serves as the engine that drives all other county departments. He noted that without proper coordination, clear policy direction, and strong accountability mechanisms, service delivery in critical sectors such as health, infrastructure, and education would be severely compromised.<\/p>\n

\"\"He further acknowledged the competent and dedicated workforce in the department, stressing that teamwork, discipline, and innovation will be essential in achieving the county\u2019s development goals.<\/p>\n

Mr. Ochanda, in his remarks, described governance as the central pillar supporting all county operations. He highlighted how strong governance ensures effective coordination, accountability, and efficiency, which directly impact service delivery to citizens across all sectors.<\/p>\n

He reiterated that the department continues to translate policy into action, having processed over 30 cabinet papers that guide county decision-making and ensure approved policies are effectively implemented for improved service delivery and development outcomes.<\/p>\n

Mr. Ochanda underscored the need to strengthen governance systems so that devolution benefits reach every level of society, with a strong focus on improving service delivery from the county headquarters down to village structures. Both the leaders acknowledged the support from partners such as the Kenya Devolution Support Programme, which has strengthened governance systems, built capacity, and enhanced operational efficiency. They also emphasized the importance of accountability and transparency in the management of public resources.<\/p>\n

This handover ceremony represents a strategic recommitment by the Nyalore administration to building a modern, efficient, and people-centred governance framework that will benefit all residents of Siaya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
