County Government of Laikipia

The 25 ^th day of August 2022 marked a milestone for the democracy of Laikipians as the first Governor of the county was sworn in for his second term.

Here are some of the promises the county boss said his administration will effect:

• Be a servant of all notwithstanding the political inclinations. Politics can never be a raging fire that destroys the unity that we always yearn for.
• Ensure no victimization or favour based on political allegiance.
• Be a Governor for all Laikipians. I will equally serve those who did not support my bid as well as those who did.
• Defend the constitution of the land.
• Always serve with utmost dedication.
• Defend the democratic rights of our people.
• Always be available for the people of Laikipia.
