Nakuru county citizens have been challenged to be on the front line on making sure they participate in county budgeting process including implementation stage which is very critical.
Centre for Transformational Leadership Director Bancy Wanjiru Kubula says Nakuru citizens have been reluctant when it comes to matters of Budget and implementation.
Speaking in Nakuru on Friday during the launching of a project dubbed ‘UADILIFU’ meant to create awareness and a more democratic society, Kubula called on Nakuru county citizens to make good use of the sovereign powers enshrined in the constitution of Kenya 2010.
She also appealed to the county Government to be transparent in the way they manage public funds.
''I would like to challenge the Nakuru county citizens to make good use of the sovereign powers enshrined in constitution and participate fully in the budgeting process,"said Bancy.
The CTL director also insisted on the need for county Government of Nakuru to ensure good channels to access to information by the public citing a lot of challenges over the same.
Kabula noted that the sytem of Government has always been seen as non transparent as it hinders the public access to information despite the Constitution demanding the same.
"The county Government of Nakuru should also ensure transparency and accountability and therefore should ensure proper access to information by the public"she added.
The New launched project ‘UADILIFU’ will focus on building the capacity of the Nakuru County Citizens inorder to hold the leaders accountable.
The launch was also attended by Nakuru county Assembly minority leader Dan Ambale who appealed for sobriety in handling certain issues in the society.
