President Uhuru Kenyatta pointed out that a number of projects are set to be rolled out through the partnership of the county and the national governments.
Affirming his commitment to devolution as a true means of transforming the lives of Kenyans, the President expressed optimism that the partnership in development between Nairobi County and his administration will be replicated across the remaining 46 counties for the benefit of Kenyans.
“We are not competitors, we are collaborators in our endeavour to deliver services to the people,” President Kenyatta said.
The President was speaking today when he launched the Nairobi City County’s data centre, which is part of the county government’s ICT transformation roadmap to boost service delivery through digital solutions.
President Kenyatta said one area that will benefit from the collaboration between the two levels of government is in land ownership where the move from manual paper-based service to the digital platform will ensure residents receive their title deeds in good time.
“It is our intention to ensure what the people of Nairobi have been waiting for a long time – which is the ability to have titles to their own land – is delivered,” President Kenyatta said.
