Kitui County is my home. I was born and grew up here and this is where my wife and I have raised our three children. As governor, my top priority is ensuring that each of Kitui's million residents has a healthy and productive life.
On Friday we took an important step in this direction by launching a five-year strategy that prioritises family planning as an essential component of our county's development. Critically, we have also committed to funding this strategy. This year, Kitui County has allocated Sh16 million in our budget specifically for family planning – a historic first. The Kitui County Family Planning Costed Implementation Plan is an achievement that is worth celebrating.
