Across Kilifi, we are transforming our Vocational Training Centres (VTCs) into modern, well-equipped institutions where young people can acquire practical, marketable skills. By investing in modern tools, technology and hands-on training, we are preparing our youth for..

Mwabaya Nyundo—Gotani pale Kaloleni pia kazi inaendelea ya awamu ya pili ya kuiweka lami barabara hiyo. Gogo hunarisukuma porepore riri suthi hufike ko fumalako. #𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐭𝐮

I attended the 10th German-African Healthcare Forum 2026, held on the sidelines of the World Health Summit in Berlin, Germany, alongside CECM for Health and Sanitation, Hon. Peter Mwarogo. During the forum, I held separate engagements with Siemens and other leading medical technology companies to explore opportunities for acquiring MRI, mammography and echocardiogram equipment to strengthen diagnostic services in Kilifi. Our discussions also focused on streamlining procurement processes, ensuring value for money, and establishing sustainable arrangements for equipment servicing, maintenance and technical support. I further emphasised the need for German medical equipment manufacturers to partner with African training institutions to develop local technical expertise, ensuring that modern medical equipment can be effectively serviced and maintained long after warranty periods expire. The forum also explored stronger Africa-Germany cooperation in healthcare, the One Health approach linking human and animal health, local pharmaceutical manufacturing, research, innovation and data-driven health planning. Held on the sidelines of the World Health Summit 2026, which attracted over 4,000 participants from 130 countries and territories, the engagements highlighted the importance of international partnerships in strengthening healthcare systems. @DOHKilifi @KilifiCountyGov

What happens when fisheries development goes beyond boats and fishing gear to create new opportunities for entire communities? In Kilifi County, an integrated Blue Economy approach is opening new pathways for economic empowerment, environmental conservation and sustainable livelihoods. Through the Kenya Marine Fisheries and Socio-Economic Development (KEMFSED) Project, implemented between 2020 and 2025 with World Bank support, approximately KSh 1.48 billion was invested in 287 sub-projects across 32 wards and 6 sub-counties. The impact has been significant! The project directly benefited 24,519 people, including 14,767 women, through investments in fisheries, aquaculture, agriculture, livestock, conservation and community enterprises. In Dabaso, community members have turned mangrove conservation into an income-generating venture through crab farming and eco-tourism. Meanwhile, the Ihaleni–Kakuluni Conservation Group recorded a 40–50% increase in milkfish production, showing how communities can diversify beyond traditional fishing. Kilifi's experience demonstrates that a thriving Blue Economy is not just about harvesting marine resources. It is about creating opportunities, protecting ecosystems and building resilient communities.

I participated in a high-level roundtable discussion on Advancing Maternal Health Through AI-Medical Solutions at the World Health Summit 2026 in Berlin, Germany, organised by the Business Council for International Understanding (BCIU) in partnership with Philips. Joined by Kilifi CECM for Health, Hon. Peter Mwarogo, I engaged with Prof. Marleen Temmerman of Aga Khan University, Nairobi, Dr. Matthew Rielly of Philips, Prof. Stephen Rulisa of ECSACOG, and Dr. Jirair Ratevosian of Duke Global Health Institute, alongside doctors, researchers and healthcare experts from across the world. Our discussions focused on AI-supported point-of-care ultrasound, a technology that can bring essential pregnancy scans closer to mothers, support early detection of complications and enable timely referrals, particularly in underserved communities. I shared Kilifi’s journey in implementing healthcare innovations, the challenges encountered and opportunities to expand these solutions through stronger partnerships, training and investment. #worldhealthsummit2026

Tunaendelea kuzipa hadhi inayostahili barabara za kaunti ya Kilifi maana hii ndiyo ilikuwa ahadi yetu kwa Wananchi. Kutoka ADU Kamale, Madunguni, Kijiwetanga, Gotani Kaloleni, Majajani Kilifi hadi Chasimba Chonyi, Mung’aro wa lami unaendelea na hatukomi hapo, bado tutaboresha zaidi sekta ya uchukuzi, tukilenga barabara nyingi za mashinani—tukiziweka lami au cabro. #𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐭𝐮

We joined partners, stakeholders, and community members in supporting Kilifi County’s commemoration of World Mental Health Day 2026 at Uwanja wa Water, under the theme “Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change.” @KilifiCountyGov #MentalHealthAwareness

Ahead of the World Health Summit, 2026, in Berlin, Germany, I paid a courtesy call on Kenya’s Ambassador to Germany, H.E. Stella Mokaya Orina, accompanied by CECM for Health, Hon. Peter Mwarogo. The visit follows an invitation by Philips, a valued partner in advancing healthcare delivery in Kilifi, to address and preside over a session at the Summit. I appreciate the continued support of Philips and Aga Khan University, Nairobi, in strengthening our healthcare sector and opening doors to greater collaboration with global healthcare companies and professionals. Turning global partnerships into lasting benefits for our people. #worldhealthsummit2026 @KenyaembassyGER

We celebrate our Executive Director’s recognition with a Medal of Excellence for her contribution to peacebuilding initiatives. As #MwanamkeImara concludes, the mission continues: turning commitments into lasting impact communities. @KilifiCountyGov @NCTC_Kenya #Peacebuilding

DAY 8 OF 20 | JONATHAN DANIEL MTURI FROM RIBE TO THE HELM OF KENYA’S TRANSPORT INSTITUTIONS Greatness often begins in the most humble places. Today, we celebrate Jonathan Daniel Mturi, a son of Ribe, Kilifi County, whose distinguished career took him to the leadership of two of Kenya’s most important transport institutions. From his early service with the East African Railways and Harbours system, Mturi rose to become Port Manager of Mombasa and later Managing Director of the Kenya Ports Authority, playing a leadership role in a sector vital to Kenya’s trade and economic growth. His service extended to the railways when, in 2008, President Mwai Kibaki appointed him Chairman of the Kenya Railways Corporation. Two critical sectors. One remarkable journey of service. Through his leadership, Mturi contributed to institutions that connect Kenya to regional and international markets, facilitate commerce and support livelihoods. His story is a reminder that Kilifi’s contribution to nation-building extends far beyond our county’s borders. As Governor, I honour Jonathan Daniel Mturi for his distinguished public service and the example he set for generations to come. From Ribe to the nation, his legacy remains a source of pride for Kilifi.

Tumelipeana rasmi kwa wafanyibiashara na jamii nzima ya Matsangoni soko la Matsangoni ambalo ujenzi wake ulikwama kwa zaidi ya miaka nane. Ndani ya soko hili pia, kuna vyumba viwili maalum vya kuuzia nyama, mahala pa kupika na kuuzia wateja chakula na vyumba 80 vya wafanyibiashara wa mazao ya shambani na samaki. Hatujakamilisha ujenzi wa soko hili tu, bali pia tumejenga barabara ya cabro tuliyoiunganisha na mataa na kujenga hata choo ili kuboresha usafi ndani ya soko hilo. Mradi huu ni mmoja kati ya mingine mingi ambayo niliipata haijakamilika na chini ya uongozi wangu, mradi wowote uliotumia pesa za Wananchi wa Kilifi, lazima tutaumaliza ili kuhakikisha raslimali zilizowekezwa hapo awali hazipotei.

2,500 women triaged. 1,788 screened and 603 received surgery. Behind these numbers are women whose health, dignity and lives are being restored. Through the Integrated Fistula Programme, women in Kilifi, Bungoma, Migori and Kiambu have also received psychosocial support to support their reintegration. But camps alone aren't enough. Today in Malindi, @KilifiCountyGov,@MPESA_FDN @FDSAfrica, @Amref_Kenya and the @cfla_kenya discussed the need to make fistula care part of routine health services. This week, that commitment continues at Marafa Sub-County Hospital, where an ongoing fistula camp is supporting women to access care. The goal is not just to treat fistula, but to build a system that finds, treats and supports women and helps them rebuild their lives. #FistulaInatibika

I commissioned Phase II of the Kizingo–Jacaranda Road for upgrading to bitumen standard, strengthening the strategic link between Ganda Ward and Watamu. This investment will make travel smoother and more reliable for residents, farmers and traders, while giving Jacaranda’s hotels and enterprises better access to one of Kilifi’s leading tourism destinations. For this growing area, improved infrastructure means more visitors, stronger businesses, new investment and greater potential for jobs and income. We are ensuring that Kilifi’s infrastructure keeps pace with the growth and potential of our tourism economy. #𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐭𝐮
