The Kilifi County Assembly Office Block is nearing completion after years of delays, with Governor Gideon Mung’aro announcing that the project has reached 90 per cent completion.
In an update on Sunday, August 2, Mung’aro said the office block had stalled before he assumed office but has since been revived as part of his administration’s commitment to completing unfinished public projects.
“When I assumed office, I found this project abandoned. Today, three and a half years later, the Kilifi County Assembly Office Block is 90% complete, with tiling works currently underway—a clear demonstration of my administration’s commitment to completing stalled projects and delivering on our promises,” he said.
Modern offices for all MCAs
Once completed, the facility will provide dedicated office space for all Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) under one roof in Malindi for the first time in the county’s history.
According to the governor, the new offices are expected to improve the working environment for legislators and strengthen service delivery within the county assembly.”Once complete, every Member of the Kilifi County Assembly will, for the first time in our county’s history, have a modern office under one roof in Malindi, providing a conducive working environment and strengthening legislative service delivery,” Mung’aro said.
Ward offices also nearing completion
Mung’aro also announced progress in the construction of 17 MCA ward offices across Kilifi County, saying the facilities will improve access to government services and strengthen engagement between residents and their elected leaders.
The projects are spread across Garashi, Marafa, Magarini, Kakuyuni, Malindi Town, Tezo, Jaribuni, Sokoke, Ganze, Bamba, Mariakani, Kaloleni, Rabai Kisurutini, Mwawesa, Mwarakaya, Chasimba and Junju wards.
“These offices will bring leadership closer to wananchi, improve access to government services, and provide residents with a more convenient platform to engage their elected leaders,” he said.
County headquarters project progressing
The governor’s update comes weeks after he announced that construction of the new Kilifi County Headquarters is also nearing completion.
Mung’aro said the headquarters will serve as the county government’s permanent administrative centre, improving service delivery and creating a more efficient working environment for public officers.
He described the development as a long-term investment aimed at strengthening governance and ensuring residents can access county services from a modern, purpose-built facility.
