Athi River deputy county commissioner Kodeck Makori has been lauded for providing land for construction of the Athi River probation department offices.
Speaking to this writer at her office in Athi River town on Tuesday, the sub county probation officer Lilian Otieno said construction of the offices had delayed due to inadequate land.
"It was next to impossible for this department to have its on office if it were not for the area deputy county commissioner who allocated us space at his office premises for the construction," said Otieno.
Otieno said the commissioner had provided the probation department at the sub county with conducive working environment and office establishment for effective and efficient service delivery.
She said the new office had created more space and confidentiality in its operations as compared to when the department was temporarily hosted at the Mavoko sub county offices in a one.
Otieno said Makori's office was not only working well with the department but also in good working relations with other departments through collaboration and partnerships.
She called on residents from the sub county to make good use of the officers and not shy away whenever they needed services from the little known department.
