County Government of Laikipia

Last year 2021, the department made several milestones like construction of the County Headquarters Administration block in Rumuruti. The department also made progress in the construction and equipping of ward offices in Marmanet, Tigithi, Sosian, and Mukogodo West. These offices are meant to bring county government services closer to the locals and saving the incoveniences of having to travel to Nanyuki every now and then.

In the Human Resource Management and Development docket, the government continued insisting on the use of ICOMMS - a technology-based performance monitoring tool where departmental and individual work plans are uploaded, KPIs updated and daily/weekly performance is tracked through timesheets to ensure maximum utilization of all the county staff.

The technology helps to ensure that all workers are on time in their duty performance and are paid based on the work which ensures everyone is on their toes to work efficiently.

Personnel actions like promotions, disciplinary, staff training, course approvals, confirmations in appointments, and re-designations also took the centre stage in 2021. The aim of doing this is to ensure productivity in every field. Aligning officers' areas of specialty with their tasks also avoids resource wastage.

The government constructed and commissioned nine floodlights across the county and proceeded with continuous repair and maintenance of street and floodlights. It also procured, installed, and inspected 2,200 solar street lights in various town/urban centre's across the 15 wards.
