Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi on Monday, March 30, held a meeting in Nairobi with Murang’a Governor Irungu Kang’ata and his delegation to discuss matters of inter-county collaboration and development.
The delegation included Dr. Peter Munga, the founder of Equity Bank and chair of the Murang’a County Budget and Economic Forum Council.
Although the specifics of the discussions were not made public, the meeting was described as part of ongoing engagements between the two counties aimed at strengthening cooperation on governance, budgeting, and economic planning.
The meeting also marked Governor Kang’ata’s first public appearance since announcing that he would temporarily step away from physical office duties due to a heel tendon injury.
According to an earlier statement by the Murang’a County government on February 18, Kang’ata sustained the injury while attending a Nutrition International meeting.
The organization, supported by the Canadian government, works with counties on nutrition and public health programs.
During his recovery period, Deputy Governor Stephen Munania is expected to represent the governor at functions requiring physical attendance, while other duties will be handled remotely.
County Executive Committee Member for Finance, Prof. Kiarie, will also take charge of selected engagements.
Governor Wamatangi welcomed Kang’ata and his team warmly, emphasizing the importance of teamwork and partnerships between counties in driving development.
Although details of the Nairobi meeting remain undisclosed, it reflects continued efforts by county leaders to coordinate on development priorities and maintain institutional cooperation despite leadership and health-related challenges.
Both leaders expressed optimism about strengthening collaboration across various sectors and improving service delivery through joint planning and coordination.
