In a significant stride toward inclusive governance, the Government has initiated the collection of citizen views and priorities for the 2024/2025 budget and the medium-term planning process.

Today, Principal Secretary of the State Department for Public Health and Professional Standards, Mary Muthoni, spearheaded a public participation initiative in Tharaka Nithi County. The session brought together representatives from all five sub-counties in Tharaka Nithi County, the Ministry of Health, and the National Treasury for a fruitful dialogue. Their invaluable contributions span across essential sectors, encompassing healthcare, agriculture, education, culture, and more.

This collaborative endeavor is in alignment with the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA), ensuring that the budget genuinely mirrors the community’s requirements for a cost-effective and impactful future.
