HONORED TO HOST COIN-10 COMMITTEE ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NADCO REPORT

by ICT dept February 28, 2026

I was deeply honored to host the COIN-10 — Committee on the Implementation of the NADCO Report — in my office earlier today.

The delegation was led by Hon. Dr. Agnes Zani and Mr. Javas Bigambo. I was joined by Hon. MCAs Barisa Deko, Ahmed Medo, Asha Mohamed, Amina, and Mercy Riziki.

We held extensive discussions on several pressing issues affecting Lamu County, key among them being the low shareable revenue allocation, which continues to severely disadvantage Lamu and hinder effective service delivery.

We also emphasized critical infrastructural interventions necessary to curb insecurity and unlock economic potential, including the urgent tarmacking of the Hindi–Kiunga and Mangai–Kiunga roads, as well as fast-tracking the Mangai Dam project to address the perennial water challenges in the Boni enclave.

Further, we discussed unemployment and the need to expand opportunities for the people of Lamu, particularly around the transformative LAPSSET Corridor Project.

We remain committed to sustained engagement to ensure Lamu receives its fair share of national resources and development.
