The Migori County government has made great achievements which have put us in the right track for development.

Compared to other counties nationally we have in place smooth and seamless working relation between the executive and assembly arm of the government, and also between boards and committees.

This is shown by having in place a working cabinet, Public and Assembly Service Boards which have been nominated and vetted by the public and assembly.

Additionally we have in place Chief Executive Officers, directors and sub-county administrators are in place to help in implementing our county development blue print which is key road map for development in the next five years.

This unity was shown during the opening of Sh16million county assembly sets to offer a sitting arrangement to all MCAs, press and public. The assembly will be break from the house sitting we had at Maranatha Hall which is across Migori town.

The meeting was attended by Governor Okoth Obado, Speaker Gordon Ogolla, Senator Wilfred Machage and Migori MP Dennitah Ghati, board members and all MCAs. Members of the public and press were also present.

We have an inclusive government that is key in taking people’s views which has been done with the ‘The Migori We Want’ that gave birth to the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP).

This plan has given us 80 per cent of our development plan and the residents should be patient because within a year only we’ll start seeing major plans and ground breaking exercise.

Migori is destined to greater things because the current tarmac project of Muhuru Bay-Migori-Kehancha C13 road which will connect us with Nairobi and multi-million water project funded by African Development Bank (AfDB) will open avenues for better infrastructure.

I believe in these strides to make us the best county nationally.
