SPEECH BY H.E. HON. DANIEL WAITHAKA MWANGI, GOVERNOR OF NYANDARUA COUNTY

DURING THE 52ND MASHUJAA DAY CELEBRATIONS - OCTOBER 20TH, 2015.
My fellow county-men,
Distinguished guests,
Ladies and gentlemen,
It gives me great pleasure to join you today in commemorating the 52nd National Heroes’ Day celebrations here in Huruma Primary School grounds, Ol'Kalou town.
First, I wish to send my warm greetings to every family in our county and other Kenyans wherever they may be.
Mashujaa Day is an important event in our annual calendar, when we celebrate the achievements of our patriots who fought for the independence of our country. 
It is also a day when we remember the many modern-day heroes, who have played a sterling role in the growth and development of our county Nyandarua and Kenya as a whole.
Mashujaa Day reminds us of the struggle and suffering of our National Heroes who sacrificed their lives so that successive generations of Kenyans can live in freedom and dignity.
I want to thank all of you for turning out to pay tribute to the courageous men and women who fought for our country's independence. I also convey our appreciation to our friends and well-wishers who have joined us in celebrating this important national occasion.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I wish to call upon our people to rededicate themselves to hard work in order to secure the future of our children.
My administration has worked hard during the past two and half years to initiate development projects geared towards uplifting the lives of our people.
Apart from upgrading roads in rural areas and urban centers, we have also carried out reforms in agriculture, the co-operative movement, health, land and water, just to mention but a few.
My administration shall continue to work with all elected and community leaders in the implementation of various development projects across the 25 wards in line with the provisions of the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) of 2013.
We are undertaking key projects in partnership with the national government and other development partners. Such projects include tarmacking of key roads, construction of mega dams in Pesi, Malewa and Kinja rivers and provision of Artificial Insemination (AI) services to farmers.
In the health sector, my administration is partnering with Schneider Children Hospital of Israel in the construction of the first ever pediatric hospital in Ol’Kalou.
We have already finalized the paper work with officials from Schneider Hospital and I expect the project to take off soon. The proposed hospital will cater for children not only from Nyandarua County but also the surrounding region.
I wish to assure you that service delivery in our health institutions has improved tremendously through the constant and sufficient supply of medical products, namely, drugs, laboratory reagents, patient linen and uniforms. All our health facilities are now well stocked with essential medicines and hospitals have adequate supplies of other medicines for special cases. 
The patient referral system within and outside the County is continuously being strengthened through maintenance of existing ambulances. The County Government has purchased an additional five ambulances. 
The acute shortage of health workforce has been addressed and the County Public Service Board (CPSB) has hired an additional 136 middle-level cadre health professionals to fill critical gaps.
Also, cleanliness in our urban areas has been a challenge but the process of garbage collection has been streamlined. The County Government has purchased three new garbage collection trucks for the purpose. We have also purchased four dump sites in strategic urban centers.
Health infrastructure has been factored in major capital development projects in the County budget and various projects are currently ongoing. These include Engineer District Hospital, which is being upgraded to be a County Referral Hospital.
A modern, state-of-the-art maternity unit and X-ray block are under construction as well as a laboratory. Also, a mortuary is under construction and hospital will get a major facelift to reflect its new status as a Level 4 health facility.
On the other hand, JM Kariuki Level 4 Hospital is being upgraded to Level 5 status with a new operating theatre, a laboratory, installation of modern equipment and a Renal Unit.
We have already established medical training facilities and recruited medical specialists. An accident and emergency center has been factored in the current financial year.
The on-going construction of the Nyandarua County Headquarters is progressing well and we expect to begin occupying the new offices in the next two months.
Recently, my administration hosted a special committee of the Senate whose mission is to identify counties with such inadequate infrastructure as offices.
The committee has listed Nyandarua County as top among the list of other counties that are in a dire need of infrastructure. It is my hope that the national government will fast-track the release of other funds to help us put up other offices not just in Ol’Kalou headquarters but in our sub-counties.
Allow me, ladies and gentlemen to conclude my remarks by highlighting reforms undertaken in the education sector.
During the 2013/2014 financial year, the County Government disbursed Sh7 million for bursaries within our 25 wards. In the year 2014/2015, Sh 65.7 million was disbursed in two installments of 25 million shillings in November, 2014 and 42.5 million shillings in June, 2015. 
In the current financial year, the County Government has set aside Sh. 67.5 million to be allocated to needy students within the county. I appeal to all ward bursary committees to exercise fairness while identifying beneficiaries of this kitty.
Nyandarua County has 14 functional youth polytechnics and my administration has embarked on improving their infrastructure through construction of modern hostels and twin workshops which is already underway. 
Three more new youth polytechnics, namely Kanyagia, Munyaka and Shauri, are ready for opening by early 2016. We shall establish production units in each polytechnic to improve productivity and sustainability in the youth activities.
In the Early Child Development (ECD) sector, my administration has constructed 69 modern classrooms all over the County which are now complete and ready for use.
In the current financial year, the County Government has set aside funds to construct an additional 75 classrooms, which translates to three ECD classrooms in every ward. This will help improve the learning environment of the young learners and increase enrollment in the public ECDs.
Already, my administration has engaged 400 Preparatory Assistants who are on the County payroll. During the current financial year, my government will recruit an additional 200 Preparatory Assistants to be distributed in other ECD centers across the County.
In conclusion, allow me to address a small matter that has been raised by the Council of Governors (CoG) touching on the release of funds to the counties by the National Government.
It has a matter of concern that national government has not released monthly allocations to the counties since August this year. This has resulted in delayed payment of bills thereby causing anxiety among suppliers.
The delays in remittance of funds is grounding Counties to a halt. Salaries need to be paid on time, the contrary will mean social unrest amongst county staff and stagnation in the provision of essential services to the citizens. The National Treasury must treat this issue with utmost urgency and seriousness and release all accumulated county monies immediately. 
County Governments are calling for an urgent Summit meeting by the end of the year to discuss thorny issues including- the state of the economy and the slow implementation of previous Summit resolutions. 
The Council notes that the timeline that had been allocated for the complete transfer of all functions assigned to County Governments lapses in March 2016. 
The limited transfer of functions to County Governments will inevitably culminate into a constitutional crisis if not remedied within the mentioned timeframe. At the moment, the inordinate delays occasioned by the various National Government institutions in the transfer of the remaining County functions have compromised implementation of the same. 
To start with, functions must be properly transferred through the recognized legal framework if they are to be effectively implemented. Unless the Transition Authority gazettes for the transfer of a function, a County Government cannot proceed to perform that function.
Subsequently, any form of service delivery and revenue collection attendant to the pending functions becomes impeded. Second, we must remember that our governance system is founded upon the ‘funds follow functions’ principle. As the ground is laid for the transfer of the pending functions, so must the resources be availed for the performance of those functions
Finally, I wish to thank each and everybody in this county for giving us support as we carry on with the gigantic task ahead of us.
I wish to particularly appeal to fellow leaders to shun political bickering and focus on issues that will help our people uplift their standards of living.
This county has immense opportunities in the co-operative sector, food production and processing, value addition for agricultural products, information and communication technology, tourism, sports and trade. 
As leaders, we should encourage our youths to exploit available opportunities in the informal sector instead of wasting valuable time pursuing limited chances in the formal sector.
Once again, I wish all of you happy Mashujaa Day celebrations.
Thank you and May God Bless us all. 
Asante.

NYANDARUA COUNTY READY FOR THE EL'NINO RAINS

Nyandarua Disaster Preparedness Committee met 8th, Octomber and resolved to urgently map out areas that are prone to floods and landslides ahead of the El’nino rains expected any time from now.

The Committee identified some of the areas prone to floods such as Ndunyu Njeru town and surrounding areas, parts of Nyakio ward in Kinangop sub-county, Gatondo and Ndemi area in Wanjohi ward and the lower parts of Kipipiri sub-county.

The Committee also identified several areas in Ndaragwa sub-county, the Lake Ol’bollosat region, and several parts of Ol’Kalou and Ol’joro-Orok sub-counties.

The team is led by Nyandarua Governor H.E. Daniel Waithaka Mwangi and includes County Commissioner Mr. Samuel Kimiti. Other members include County Police Commander, County AP Commander, head of Kenya Red Cross Society in Nyandarua, county head of National Youth Service (NYS) and representative from local branch of Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI).

Other members are drawn from representative of faith-based organizations, the Kenya Power, representatives from the Governor’s office and County Executive Committee members for Health, Education, Finance, Agriculture, Water and Roads.

During its meeting the committee was informed that Nyandarua County Government had set aside Sh40 million for use in disaster preparedness and was looking forward to more funding from the national government and other donors.

The meeting resolved that rescue centers be set up immediately in all areas that are susceptible to floods and landslides in accordance with recommendations from the sub-county disaster committees.
The department of health announced it had increased purchase of drugs and materials to cater for patients in the event of an outbreak of waterborne diseases.

The committee resolved to urgently purchase relief foods to cater for the population that will be affected by floods and other disasters across the county. Food stocks will also be used to assist people who will be affected by famine following crop failure due to flooding.

The County government will avail ambulances in strategic areas of the county to cater for victims of El’nino and also avail fuel to assist police in the rescue mission.

Members resolved to come out with a county disaster policy to address short-term and long-term issues on disaster preparedness. It was also agreed that the business community be sensitized on the need to assist victims of disaster by providing food and other materials whenever the need arises.

Finally, members resolved that the disaster preparedness team should formulate a time-table to allow for meetings on quarterly basis to address upcoming issues even after the El’nino rains are over.

Avail public records, Nyandarua officials told

The County Government of Nyandarua wants its officials to freely avail public records.

Speaking at a forum on media and public participation held at the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) in Ol’Kalou, County Secretary Mr. Frank Muchina said the government is keen on informing, consulting and involving citizens in all county affairs.

“For us, an interested party may be any person or group of people with an interest to protect, a stake in an issue, or knowledge to contribute, and whose participation is critical to ensure wide acceptability of the Government’s undertakings,” he said.

County officials, he said, must ensure that citizens can access public records and are continuously updated on county activities, to increase their understanding about proposed projects and services.

“If a member of the public requests a record, a responsible authority must provide a copy of the record in a timely manner,” he said.

And while the county is committed to engaging its residents across various platforms, Mr. Muchina warned that 2017 campaigns were fast interfering with sober discussions.

“How we can avoid politics in public participation is a serious business for us all,” he said.

Journalists in Nyandarua, he said, must give voice to residents and push their interests into the county’s agenda.

“Beyond looking at the failures of the Government, journalists can publish and broadcast success stories that bring out its efforts and struggles to ensure that the public gets value for its money and there is fairness in sharing and utilization of resources,” he said.

Members of the public called on the county government to increase its financial support for women, sportspeople, environmentalists, small scale traders, the disabled and people living with HIV/Aids and include them in its activities.

The County Executive Committee member in charge of Finance and Economic Planning, Mr. Nderi Ndiani, assured participants at the forum that the county will continue using Churches, public barazas and bodabodas to deliver public notices even as it invests in modern tools of communication.

He said the government has increased its allocation for HIV/Aids this year to Kshs. 4 million, and bought medicine worth Kshs. 100 million for the JM Kariuki Memorial Hospital in Ol’Kalou.

“We will buy required equipment at the hospital, as we wait for the national government to act on its obligations,” he said.

The forum was organized by Media Focus in Africa.

“It is our last after similar engagements in Narok and Taita Taveta counties, but the first time high-level officials of a county have attended any of our fora and also remained to respond to public queries,” said Mr. Harrison Manga, the organisation’s project co-ordinator.

Israel To Partner With Nyandarua County In Pediatric Hospital

Israeli’s largest children hospital has agreed to partner with Nyandarua County in putting up the first ever paediatric hospital in this region to be located in Ol’Kalou town.
This emerged yesterday after the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Nyandarua Governor H.E. Daniel Waithaka Mwangi and the President of Shneider Children Hospital Prof. Joseph Press.
The event in Ol’Kalou town was witnessed by Israeli ambassador to Kenya H.E. Yahel Vilan, the Speaker of Nyandarua County Assembly Hon. Wahome Ndegwa, several Members of the County Assembly, officials from the county government and key members of the Israeli delegation led by the Ambassador.
The MoU “concerns the collaboration in the area of technical support and human resource development in the health sector in the proposed development of the Nyandarua County Children’s Hospital.”
Schneider, one of the largest children hospitals in the world, undertakes over 8,000 open-heart surgeries per year and has some of the most experienced doctors in dealing with ailments that affect children.
Speaking outside his office, before he conducted the delegation on a tour of the proposed site for the construction of the hospital, the governor said the events leading to the signing of the MoU was a “dream come true.”
“We have travelled a long journey with our partners from Israel and have exchanged visits, but the events today mark a major development in the economic partnership between us,” he said.
Ambassador Vilan was equally pleased with the new development, declaring that Israelis were in “Nyandarua to stay.”
He said Israeli professionals will work with the leadership of Nyandarua in carrying out major projects in the areas of water, agriculture, health and infrastructure.”
“We have resolved to work with Nyandarua and we expect this will be a model county in the development of water, health and agriculture,” declared the ambassador.
While touring the site for the proposed hospital, the ambassador declared that Israelis had major experience in harnessing water which they hoped to use for the benefit of the people of Nyandarua.
“I hear some people talk of dry areas in Kenya; I have not seen any such areas unless one has not visited our country and see what we have done to generate water from the desert,” he said.
Speaker of County Assembly Hon. Ndegwa Wahome declared the Assembly was solidly behind the executive in the implementation of de development projects by partners from Israel.
“There are some people who don’t appreciate anything that is being done by others but we shall not allow them to derail these projects which are for public good,” declared the Speaker.
Mr. Wahome said it was the height of hypocrisy for individuals serving in the government to antagonize the leadership of the county for selfish reasons.
The delegation was later conducted on a tour of tourist sites and overflew Lake Ol’bolosat before visiting Thomson’s Falls in Nyahururu town.
The event was attended by executive committee members who included Dr. Peter Kung’u (Health), Grace Gitonga (Water and energy), Agatha Thuo (Agriculture), Peter Gathimba (Tourism and Sports), Gitau Thabanja (Lands), Judy Mwangi (Co-operatives) and Peter Macharia (Education, Youth and culture).

PRESS RELEASE

HON. KARUE AND THE MEDIA REPORTS

My attention has been drawn to media reports attributed to Nyandarua Senator Hon. Muriuki Karue touching on alleged loss of funds as earlier reported by the Auditor General.
While addressing a public rally on Sunday 9, 2015 in Engineer town, Hon. Karue claimed that my administration cannot account for Sh746 million spent during the 2013/14 financial year.
Further, Hon. Karue claimed the money was lost mainly through flawed tendering process in the construction and opening up of access roads across the Nyandarua County.
Nothing can be further from the truth.
The report by the Auditor General refers to Sh410 million whose documents had not been presented to him by a few government departments- chief among them the department of Roads and Public works- by the time the interim report was concluded.
I wish to emphasize that what the auditor general presented is an interim report which is bound to change once the relevant documents being sought by his office on various tenders have finally been presented.
I believe Hon. Karue is an experienced politician and technocrat and he fully understands the dynamics of accounting for government funds. The report by the auditor general is not conclusive because what we have is an interim audited accounts and my administration has already made efforts to provide the relevant documentation before the second and final report is prepared.
It is therefore the height of hypocrisy for Hon. Karue to organize public rallies in the county with a view to feeding the public with half-baked reports on audited accounts whose aim is to stir up political protests and incite the public against their government.
Hon. Karue has been Senator of Nyandarua County during the past two years but he has never engaged my administration on constructive issues or even addressed the Nyandarua County Assembly on issues affecting this County.
He appears only keen on hyping public emotions perhaps hoping to resurrect his political image ahead of the 2017 general elections.
The Senator can easily walk into my office and seek for clarification on any issue because that is his right. But he has chosen to be antagonistic and is busy peddling rumours and lies against my administration instead of seeking for the truth.
He is behaving like a drowning man who clings to papyrus reeds in the hope of saving his life. Sadly, the Senator is doing this at the expense of the people of Nyandarua.
Time has come for Nyandarua people to reject such politicians because they have nothing to offer; instead of teaming up with my government to solve socio-economic challenges facing our county, Hon. Karue has turned out to be a lone ranger whose main pre-occupation is to fight my government.
The report by auditor general for 2013/14 has raised eyebrows from many quarters and none other than H.E. the Deputy President has raised concerns saying it was not representative of the truth. So one wonder why Senator Karue has chosen to use this document to malign the government. He should tell the world who he is working for.
My administration has taken steps to go into the bottom of this matter and that explains why I have asked 13 senior officials including a CEC member and a Chief Officer to step aside to allow for thorough investigations.
Until this matter is fully investigated and the auditor general issues the final report, nobody should be in a hurry to condemn the government.
I assure members of the public that no stone will be left unturned in unearthing the truth.

Thank you.

Nairobi Water Company Boss Visit Nyandarua county Governor.

Nyandarua Governor H.E. Daniel Waithaka Mwangi welcomes to his office the Managing Director of Nairobi Water Company Eng. Philip Gichuki. The MD and a team of senior officials from his company briefed the Governor about this year's Sasumua Half Marathon which is scheduled to take place on October 31, 2015.The company pledged to donate water tanks to selected primary and secondary schools as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility, provide dust-bins to business community in Njabini town, and earmark Sh4 million bursary to bright children from poor background attending public schools in the area. Also present was CECs Hon. Peter Gathimba (Tourism and Sports), Hon. Grace Gitonga (Water, Energy and Environment) and Hon. Gitau Thabanja (Lands and Housing).

Nyandarua County Assembly pass a Motion to register displeasure with the conduct of the County Senator Muriuki Karue.

Nyandarua County Assembly on Tuesday 4th August 2015 passed a Motion to register displeasure with the conduct of the County Senator Muriuki Karue.
The Senator had planned a Public Meeting at Ol kalou on Monday the 3rd of August 2015 where he was expected to read the Auditor General’s Report for the Year 2013/ 2014 which indicates that the County Government cannot account for Ksh. 400 million.
The meeting was however foiled by local youths before it kicked off who pulled down his tent, removed the public address system and pelted his vehicle with stones when he arrived.
The County Assembly’s Majority Whip John Gachari moved the motion of discontent in the House as a matter of County importance upon suspension of the usual business.
Gachari who is also the MCA for Shamata Ward added that the report had been committed to the Assembly’s Public Accounts Committee for scrutiny, yet the Senator disregarded the Assembly and convened the meeting.
While contributing to the Motion, Ol Kalou Ward MCA Kamau Ngotho said the Senator has never had time to either inspect Government Projects in the County or push any County agenda in the Senate.
He also accused the Senator of supporting the Coalition for Reform and Democracy CORD in saying that the report by the Auditor General is reliable.
“If the Deputy President is saying that the report is faulty, who is he (senator) to say that it is genuine?” he wondered.
Gathanji Ward MCA Samuel Thuita said the Senator has failed to resolve the conflict surrounding Nyahururu Town that has been a tug of war between Nyandarua and Laikipia Counties.
“We have continued to lose millions in terms of revenue in the town which we believe was snatched from us and the Senator has never made any effort to have the National Government compensate us on that front,” he said.
Nominated MCA Dorcas Kihara said the Senator was chasing investors away by calling public meetings to say that the County Government is embezzling funds.
The Assembly Deputy Speaker Wambugu King’ori who was in the Chair directed that a formal communication in this regard be made to the Speaker of the Senate Ekwe Ethuro, Nyandarua Governor Daniel Waithaka and the Senator himself.

Nyandarua County reverberated into song and dance after one of its secondary schools won football title to represent Kenya in the East-African tournament scheduled to take place in Kigali, Rwanda next week.
Passenga Secondary School in Ol’Kalou sub-county (Aberdare region) beat Metropolitan’s region’s Laiser Hill 1-0 in hard fought boys’ final in Machakos County last Saturday.
John Avire’s sixth minute strike settled the pulsating final as Passenga made history by becoming the first school from Aberdare region to win boys’ national football title since the games started 45 years ago.
Passenga who had eliminated Lake Region’s Kisumu Day 4-3 on post-match penalties in the semi-finals, avenged their 2-1 loss to Laiser Hill in the preliminaries.
