Deputy Governor Lucy Mulili hosted the Knowledge Management Officials for Maarifa Center Success Stories.

On Tuesday, Mulili warmly welcomed the officials from the Council of Governors’ Knowledge Management team. The visit is part of an initiative to document and showcase success stories from the county, which will be featured in the Council of Governors’ Maarifa Center.

This collaborative effort aims to highlight the county’s achievements and best practices, contributing to a broader knowledge-sharing platform that benefits all counties. The Maarifa Center serves as a repository of innovative solutions and success stories, promoting effective governance and development across the nation.

Mulili expressed her enthusiasm for the project, emphasizing the importance of sharing knowledge and learning from each other’s experiences to drive progress and improvement in governance.

She expressed her commitment to the initiative, pledging to champion efforts to centralize knowledge management within Makueni. This will ensure that the county continues to share and benefit from collective wisdom and achievements.

The visiting team, led by Winnie Kithome, Makueni’s Knowledge Management Champion to the Council of Governors, will be in the county for four days.

Elsewhere Leaders from the Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA) and female Governors have vehemently denounced the recent spate of killings targeting women across the country. This follows the discovery of nine bodies, including six women, in an abandoned quarry near Kware in Mukuru kwa Njenga in Embakasi South Constituency.

Speaking after viewing the badly mutilated bodies at the City Mortuary in Nairobi, KEWOPA Chairperson, Hon. Leah Sankaire (Kajiado County), stressed the urgent need for enhanced protection systems for women.

“This is a sad day in history, with 42 women murdered since 2022 and the perpetrators still at large. Women’s lives must be safeguarded at all costs,” said Hon. Sankaire. She further advocated for the revival of Gender-Based Desks in all Police Stations, citing their potential in helping identify such criminals.
