Kisumu: Nyanza Regional Commissioner (RC) Flora Mworoa has underscored the importance of One-Government-Approach in delivering services to Kenyans. Mworoa said for there to be effective service delivery, there must be strong and deliberate synergy between the Executive Office of the President, the National Government Administrative Officers (NGAOs), Ministries, Departments, and Agencies and all the implementing agencies.
According to Kenya News Agency, Mworoa emphasized that no single institution can effectively deliver the President’s agenda independently. She advocated for a collective movement with a shared understanding of priorities and a unified approach to reporting and problem-solving. She stressed the need for an efficient communication mechanism to ensure the government’s agenda is clearly articulated and understood by citizens.
Mworoa made these remarks in Kisumu during a week-long sensitization workshop for various governmental representatives. The workshop aimed at enhancing the monitoring, evaluation, and tracking of national government projects and presidential directives, focusing specifically on the operationalization of Kenya Kwanza’s Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).
The RC highlighted that the exercise was designed to refine communication tools, align language, and enhance coordination among teams in the Nyanza region. This alignment is crucial for operating as One Government, One Plan, and One Delivery System. Mworoa noted that the effectiveness of the multi-agency team would be measured by tangible outcomes such as completed projects, improved livelihoods, and resolved bottlenecks.
She outlined the team’s role in providing credible, real-time information from the field, flagging challenges early, and escalating issues in an evidence-based manner to ensure uniform implementation of presidential directives. Mworoa also described the multi-agency framework as a crucial link between policy decisions and regional implementation.
In the Nyanza region, BETA implementation is already underway with programs such as fertilizer support, rice production, tea cultivation, and fisheries-linked agro-enterprises. These initiatives require continuous field verification and progress tracking. Mworoa highlighted the need for coordinated monitoring in the Blue Economy sector, particularly around Lake Victoria’s fisheries and related projects.
On the topic of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), she emphasized the importance of tracking the Hustler Fund uptake, National Youth Opportunities Towards Advancement (NYOTA), and value-addition enterprises beyond disbursement to actual business growth and job creation. She also noted the elevation of Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital to Level Six, enhancing its service delivery capacity.
Furthermore, Mworoa reported on successful projects in affordable housing, modern markets, and Students Village Hostels programs. Additionally, the construction of six Digital Hubs across the region aims to boost digital literacy, online job creation, and internet connectivity. She stressed that the success of these programs hinges on effective coordination, collaboration, and communication.
Mworoa reiterated that monitoring and evaluation are leadership obligations, not just administrative formalities, and that the success of BETA and government credibility at the grassroots depend on effective tracking and prompt action based on insights from the field.
