Speaking during a church service and fundraising event at Ogwedhi Seventh-day Adventist Church in Suna East Constituency, Migori County, Omollo said the quality of leadership directly shapes the unity and prosperity of communities.

“Today’s sermon spoke powerfully about unity. When leaders are united, the people become united. When leaders work together, communities prosper. Our churches become stronger, our institutions become stronger, and development reaches the people more effectively,” he said.

The Principal Secretary urged leaders to rise above political divisions and prioritize initiatives that improve the lives of wananchi, particularly in regions that have historically experienced development gaps.

He praised the spirit of cooperation demonstrated by leaders from Migori, Homa Bay and neighbouring counties who attended the event, saying their presence reflected a shared commitment to inclusive development.

Omollo reaffirmed the government’s commitment to equitable development, saying the Kenya Kwanza administration is investing in infrastructure, education, healthcare and public service delivery to ensure no part of the country is left behind.

He highlighted the ongoing establishment and operationalisation of new administrative units, including locations, sub-locations and divisions, saying the initiative is intended to bring government services closer to citizens.

“We have gazetted several administrative units across the country to ensure wananchi can access government services more easily. We will continue recruiting and deploying officers to strengthen administration and improve service delivery at the local level,” he said.

The PS also appealed to communities to support the government by identifying men and women of integrity to serve as Chiefs and Assistant Chiefs in the newly created administrative units.

On healthcare, Omollo encouraged Migori residents to register for the Social Health Authority (SHA) programme to benefit from affordable healthcare under the government’s Universal Health Coverage agenda.
