As you are aware, the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental relations visited Tharaka-Nithi County to analyze the situation as reported and found many things had been lacking. Most parts of the county are arid and semi-arid areas with very poor infrastructure. The headquarters in Kathwana are having a lot of challenges and problems. Kathwana lacks amenities for functional county headquarters among them good roads, electricity, hospitals, water supply, Huduma centers and so on. The Committee has recommended that for Kathwana to give service to the people of Tharaka-Nithi County, this service must be delivered and facilities improved. The roads are in bad shape especially. Therefore, the Committee has recommended a Multi-Agency Technical Committee for promotion of the development of devolution. The Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government, Governor’s office, Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the State Department of Public Works has to look into this situation, so that we can improve the situation in the county and the headquarters can be re-located. The previous headquarters which were in Chuka Town have now been relocated to Kathwana, which is about five kilometers away. However, the Public Administration does not have proper offices and housing. Therefore, two of the county offices have not been created because of construction problems. The County Assembly also has a challenge. However, now that the Report has given its recommendations on having a Multi-Agency Committee, we need to improve on"
