Kakamega:Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has urged the National Government Administrative Officers (NGAOs) to take an active role in promoting the government’s agenda among the public. He emphasized the importance of NGAOs in communicating government programs, policies, and projects to ensure public understanding and support.
According to Kenya News Agency, Murkomen made these statements during a fundraising event at Bushiangala in Ikolomani Constituency, Kakamega County. He called on the officers to focus on their responsibilities and not be swayed by political criticisms. Murkomen stressed that the role of the Regional Commissioner, Chiefs, their Assistants, and village elders is to educate the public on government policies and developments.
Murkomen also addressed the need for political unity, urging Kenyans to move past divisive politics and choose leaders based on their manifestos and delivery capabilities. He advised against electing leaders based on tribal affiliations and encouraged a focus on policy-driven politics.
Further, Murkomen suggested that younger leaders, such as Senator Edwin Sifuna, should delay their presidential ambitions until 2032 and support the re-election of President William Ruto. Members of Parliament present, including Bernard Shinali, Titus Khamala, Christopher Aseka, and Emmanuel Wangwe, echoed Murkomen’s sentiments, highlighting President Ruto’s contributions to the Western region over the past four years.
