Lamu Governor H.E. Issa Timamy E.G.H, O.G.W has said the county government of Lamu is in the process of setting up a database for all qualified professionals that will be used to connect them to available job markets.

Speaking during the graduation ceremony at Mpeketoni Technical Vocational Center, where 350 students graduated with technical and life skill courses in Bahari Ward, the Lamu County boss said that those who get county tenders will first have to exhaust local available professionals before outsourcing from the county.

“Once we award you a tender, you will be required to tell us the professionals you require, and if we have them locally then you will be obliged to recruit them before you outsource” stated governor Timamy adding that the move will create job opportunities to local professionals.

Echoing the Governor’s sentiments, Education C.E.C.M Hon. Sebastian Owanga stated that his department will create a database that will enlist all professionals with their cadres to facilitate possible placements.

Bahari Ward M.C.A Hon. Francis Gokonga committed to support Governor Timamy’s administration towards unlocking Lamu’s economic potential.
