Today, I had the distinct honour of attending the 6th Legislative Summit 2026 organized by the County Assemblies Forum (CAF), a vital platform that brings together legislative leaders to reflect, share experiences, and strengthen governance at the county level. The summit was graced by the Chief Guest, H.E.Dr. Musalia Mudavadi, whose presence underscored the importance of collaborative leadership in advancing our nation’s development agenda. This summit is of great significance as it provides an opportunity for County Assemblies to interrogate emerging issues, enhance legislative capacity, and promote accountability in the management of public resources. It also fosters peer learning and the exchange of best practices, which are essential for improving service delivery across our counties. Devolution remains one of the most transformative pillars of our Constitution. Its core objects—promoting democratic and accountable exercise of power, fostering national unity while recognizing diversity, giving powers of self-governance to the people, and enhancing equitable development—continue to guide our governance framework. County Assemblies stand as the bedrock of devolution. Through their legislative, oversight, and representation roles, they ensure that the aspirations of wananchi are translated into tangible development outcomes. Strong, effective, and empowered County Assemblies are therefore central to delivering the vision of a prosperous, inclusive, and well-governed Kenya. I commend the County Assemblies Forum for organizing this important summit . Together, we can deepen devolution and accelerate the realization of our national development goals. #LegislativeSummit2026 #DevolutionInAction #CountyAssemblies #CAF #ServiceDelivery #TransformingKenya #Accountability #EmpoweredCounties

Transforming Lives Through Devolution 🇿🇼 Zimbabwe’s devolution programme is no longer just a policy on paper — it is now a powerful engine of change reshaping rural communities across the nation. From improved road networks to access to clean water, upgraded health facilities, and better schools, the impact is being felt where it matters most: at grassroots level. Communities that were once marginalized are now at the center of development, as resources are being distributed more equitably to provinces and districts. This shift is empowering local authorities to respond directly to the needs of their people, ensuring that no one and no place is left behind. The increased investment in infrastructure and service delivery is not only improving livelihoods but also unlocking economic potential in rural areas. Farmers are accessing markets more easily, clinics are serving communities more efficiently, and young people are finding new opportunities closer to home. Devolution is more than decentralization — it is about restoring dignity, promoting inclusion, and building resilient communities that can drive their own development. As this programme continues to gain momentum, it stands as a clear testament to Zimbabwe’s commitment to inclusive growth and sustainable national progress. #DevolutionInAction #RuralTransformation #Vision2030 #Zimbabwe #InclusiveDevelopment

As a nation, we recognize that sustainable urban development is crucial for the well-being of our citizens and the resilience of our communities. Strengthening partnerships and sharing knowledge across borders is key to achieving this vision. Recently, I held an engagement with NEC CEO Mary Njogu and Fatima Higander to advance waste management initiatives. This meeting underscores Kenya’s commitment to strengthening international partnerships that drive sustainable urban development, enhance environmental management and improve public service delivery. A flagship collaboration involves Kenya’s county governments and Swedish municipalities under the International Centre for Local Democracy (ICLD). Key areas of cooperation include water and sanitation management, solid waste management, environmental protection, institutional capacity building, gender equality and youth inclusion. These initiatives equip county governments with technical expertise, foster inclusive governance and enhance local environmental management systems. Strategically, these partnerships advance Kenya’s Sustainable Development Goals by promoting knowledge exchange, strengthening institutional frameworks, and supporting resilient urban planning. They also reinforce the country’s broader development agenda by ensuring urban centers become models of sustainable, inclusive and climate-resilient growth. Through such international collaboration, Kenya is not only addressing immediate environmental challenges but also building long-term capacity in local governance and service delivery, ensuring that sustainable urban systems are robust, equitable and future-ready. @WilliamsRuto @Environment_Ke @necc_kenya @FatimaHigander @SweMFA #SustainableKenya #UrbanResilience #PartneringForProgress #WasteToWealth #DevolutionInAction

A Landmark in Kenya’s Devolution and Conservation Journey Today, history was written at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. President William Ruto presided over the official handover of Amboseli National Park to the Kajiado County Government, affirming Kenya’s commitment to justice, inclusion, and shared prosperity. This transition is more than an administrative act. It is a recognition of the Maasai community as the original custodians of Amboseli, restoring dignity and ensuring that local voices shape the future of this global heritage site. - Community Empowerment: The Maasai will now benefit directly from tourism revenues and decision-making in conservation. - Conservation Strengthened: Local stewardship will align biodiversity protection with community interests, safeguarding Amboseli’s famed elephant herds and breathtaking landscapes. - Devolution in Action: Counties gain a greater role in managing national treasures, ensuring prosperity is shared equitably. The handover of Amboseli is a promise delivered—a turning point where heritage, justice, and prosperity converge. It sets a precedent for community-driven conservation tourism, positioning Kenya as a leader in inclusive heritage management. Amboseli returns to its people. Justice is affirmed. Prosperity is shared. Conservation is strengthened. #AmboseliHandover PromiseDelivered #JusticeAndProsperity #DevolutionInAction

President Mnangagwa Outlines Vision for Strengthening Provincial Governance and National Devolution In a recent address at State House to the Provincial Ministers of State, President Emmerson Mnangagwa detailed his vision for Zimbabwe's future governance, focusing on fostering a culture of collective responsibility and improving coordination across Ministries, Departments, and Agencies at the provincial level. This vision aligns with the government's broader aim to achieve Vision 2030, which seeks to transform Zimbabwe into an upper-middle-income economy. Unity and Collaboration: President Mnangagwa emphasized the necessity for enhanced cooperation among various government levels. He advocated for a unified approach to governance, highlighting that the initial steps towards collective responsibility in the provinces must be solidified for the nation to meet its 2030 targets. A coordinated, responsive, and efficient governance system is essential to fulfill national aspirations. Work Ethic and Agility: The President praised the growing organizational agility and positive work ethic observed across provinces. He stressed the importance of maintaining these attributes to keep Zimbabwe on a positive development path. Responsiveness and proactive governance are key to addressing the diverse needs of the citizenry. Devolution Reporting: A significant aspect of his vision is the effective execution of the national devolution agenda. President Mnangagwa underscored the need for Ministries of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution to provide timely, comprehensive reports. These reports should cover economic matters and other critical areas, reflecting the challenges and achievements of each province. Challenges in Reporting: He expressed concern over the inconsistent reporting from some provinces, which leads to coordination gaps and inefficiencies in government programs. For the devolution agenda to succeed, accurate and prompt reporting is indispensable, as it underpins informed decision-making and resource allocation. Addressing Coordination Gaps: The President noted that delays in reporting have caused disruptions in government initiatives. To mitigate these issues, there's a push towards refining reporting mechanisms at the provincial level, ensuring that national development plans are implemented effectively across all provinces. Vision for Governance: President Mnangagwa's overarching goal is to establish a robust governance framework that promotes accountability, coordination, and progress. By reinforcing collective responsibility and ensuring provinces fulfill their reporting duties, Zimbabwe aims to advance towards its Vision 2030 goals. The emphasis on agility and a strong work ethic serves as a call to action for all stakeholders to unite in their efforts. Commitment to Development: As Zimbabwe moves towards its developmental milestones, the government is dedicated to ensuring all provinces are actively involved and well-resourced. Through consistent coordination, timely reporting, and collective commitment, the country is poised to unlock its full potential, paving the way for a prosperous future. #DevolutionInAction

President Mnangagwa’s vision for strengthening provincial governance and national devolution agenda outlined! In his address to Provincial Ministers of State yesterday at State House, President Mnangagwa outlined his vision for the future of governance in Zimbabwe, emphasizing the need for a culture of collective responsibility and enhanced coordination across Ministries, Departments, and Agencies, particularly at the provincial level. This vision is in line with the Government's ongoing efforts to achieve its Vision 2030 goal of transforming Zimbabwe into an upper-middle-income economy. At the heart of President Mnangagwa's speech was a call for greater collaboration and unity across the various levels of Government. He stressed that the culture of collective responsibility, which has started to take root across the provinces, should be nurtured and further strengthened. As Zimbabwe progresses towards its 2030 aspirations, a more unified, responsive, and efficient approach to governance at every level will be critical to achieving national goals. The President also emphasized the importance of organizational agility and a positive work ethic. He pointed out that these values are now more evident across provinces, and they must be maintained as part of Zimbabwe’s continued progress. A proactive approach to governance will ensure that the country’s development trajectory remains on track and responsive to the needs of all citizens. An integral part of the President's vision is the successful implementation of the national devolution agenda. For this to be effective, President Mnangagwa highlighted the importance of submitting comprehensive and timely reports by Ministries of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution. These reports should include detailed data on various issues, including economic affairs, and address the challenges faced by each province. However, the President expressed his concern that some provinces are falling short in this regard. Failure to submit timely reports creates gaps in the coordination of Government programs and projects, leading to inefficiencies and missed opportunities for development. He made it clear that for the Government to successfully manage and implement its devolution agenda, consistent and accurate reporting is crucial. These reports form the backbone of informed decision-making and the effective allocation of resources across the country. President pointed out that gaps and disruptions in the coordination of Government programs and projects are a result of delayed or inadequate reporting from some provinces. These issues, while unfortunate, must be addressed to ensure the smooth and effective functioning of the devolution agenda. The Government’s focus on improving the reporting mechanisms at the provincial level is a necessary step to minimize these gaps and guarantee that the national development plans are executed seamlessly across all provinces. Ultimately, President Mnangagwa’s vision for Zimbabwe is rooted in a strong and effective governance framework that promotes accountability, coordination, and progress at every level. By strengthening collective responsibility and ensuring that provincial ministries meet their reporting obligations, Zimbabwe will be better positioned to achieve its ambitious Vision 2030 goals. The President’s focus on organizational agility and sustained positive work ethic across the provinces is a reminder that success lies in the unity and determination of all stakeholders. As the country marches towards its vision for 2030, the Government remains committed to ensuring that all provinces are fully engaged and equipped to contribute to the national agenda. Through consistent coordination, timely reporting, and a collective commitment to development, Zimbabwe is set to realize its potential and build a prosperous future for its citizens #DevolutionInAction #TEXED #EDWORKS @DeptCommsZW @edmnangagwa @zanupf_patriots @ZANUPF_Official
