The County’s vision is to be a productive, prosperous, secure and newly-industrialized County that adds value to its citizens and competes effectively in the 21st century. Located North-West of the former Central Province, Nyandarua is an estimated 150 kilo- metres away from the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. Nyandarua has high growth prospects sup- ported by a business-friendly County Government, vibrant human capital, coupled with diverse, rare and abundant natural resources. The County is at the heart of the Mt. Kenya tourism circuit, linking tourists headed to the wider Mt. Kenya region. The current Gov- ernor, His Excellency Francis Kimemia, was elected the second head of the County in the 2017 General Elections. Governor Kimemia also chairs the Central Region Economic Bloc (CEREB), whose pri- mary objective is leveraging on economies of scale in undertaking joint development projects and activities for its 10 member counties: Meru, Tharaka Nithi, Embu, Kirinyaga, Nyeri, Laikipia, Nyandarua, Murang’a, Kiambu and Nakuru. Mt. Kenya region is endowed with enormous resources, including a youthful and vibrant population driving innovation and productivity. It also has rich climatic conditions which enable production of a variety of crops critical for national and international markets, among other resources. The region is also strategically placed close to critical markets of the country and wider region. The County boss has been heading the bloc since 2017. iv #GOVKIMEMIADELIVERS Kipipiri edition July 1 st , 2020 - June 30 th , 2021 MESSAGE FROM HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR We have a rendezvous with destiny he people of Nyandarua spoke loudly in August 2017 when they Toverwhelmingly elected me as their second Governor. Our vision is to be a productive, prosperous, secure and newly-industrialized County that adds value to its citizens and competes effectively in the 21st century. It is clear in my mind that the transformation of the lives of our people to sustainable levels of development will only be possible when we pro- vide an enabling social, economic and political environment. Today, I reiterate my determination and commitment to fully operationalize my Manifesto, which is based on six key pillars: 1. Good Governance (Peace, Security, Democracy, and Rule of law); 2. Social Sector Development (Education, Health, Culture, Rights, Social Dimension and Services); 3. Infrastructure Development (Water, Irrigation, Sewerage, Energy, Transport and Communication, ICT, Sports, Tourism, and Environment); 4.Financial and Trade Services and Entrepreneurship Development; 5. Agriculture Development, Environmental Conservation; and 6. Investments and Industrialization. I am pleased to note that the great people of Nyandarua are fully engaged in matters that affect their destiny in tandem with the Constitution and, together, we are progressively implementing our second County Integrated Development Plan (2018-2022), which flows from my manifesto and feedback received through rigorous public participation. Due to limited financial resources, roll-out of flagship projects has been on a gradual basis rather than in one big bang. This is the reason we have been active at the Council of Governors – where I chair the Water, Forestry and Natural Resources Management committee - and other internal and external fora to promote our interests. My administration is also working closely with His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta, who not only chose to become Nyandarua’s Governor Number One, but has also been actively supporting our County’s transforma- tion from the least-developed and poorest per capita in the former Central Province. Make no mistake: We cannot play the card of marginalization forever. We have a rendezvous with destiny. Let us keep rising and marching forward. Wherever you are, please let me know how best my Government can serve you and your community (kindly see back page for details on our complaints and compliments system). Stay safe! H.E FRANCIS T.
