Machakos Governor Wavinya Ndeti Courts Global Partners at World Health Expo 2026 to Transform County Healthcare

Machakos Governor H.E. Wavinya Ndeti has reaffirmed her administration’s commitment to delivering world-class healthcare services after leading a high-level engagement with global innovators and health sector partners at the World Health Expo 2026 in Dubai.

Speaking during a series of strategic meetings at the global forum, Governor Ndeti said the expo provided a valuable platform for Machakos County to explore cutting-edge medical technologies and forge partnerships aimed at strengthening healthcare delivery across the county.

The Governor noted that her administration is prioritizing the acquisition of advanced CT scan equipment to enable faster, more accurate diagnosis, significantly reducing referrals and waiting times for patients. She also emphasized plans to invest in state-of-the-art theatre and laboratory equipment, which will allow county hospitals to handle complex medical and surgical cases locally.

“Our goal is to ensure that Machakos residents can access high-quality diagnostic and treatment services without the burden of traveling long distances. This is about saving lives, time, and resources,” Governor Ndeti stated.

In addition, the county is seeking to modernize its emergency response systems through the procurement of modern, fully equipped ambulances, aimed at improving response times and enhancing life-saving interventions during emergencies.

Governor Wavinya Ndeti underscored that technology investments will go hand in hand with continuous capacity building for healthcare workers, ensuring that medical staff are fully equipped and trained to deliver dignified, efficient, and patient-centered care.

“My commitment to ensuring Machakos County has the best healthcare services remains steadfast. As we modernize our facilities, we are also empowering our dedicated medical personnel with the tools they need to serve our people better,” she said.

The World Health Expo 2026 brings together governments, healthcare providers, innovators, and investors from across the globe, making it one of the most influential platforms for shaping the future of healthcare.

Yatta Schools Receive Food Boost Under MP Hon. Robert Basil’s Leadership

Yatta Constituency public schools have received a major boost after the delivery of 260 bags of beans and 300 bags of rice to support the School Feeding Program, strengthening efforts to improve learner welfare and education outcomes across the constituency.

The food support, provided under the leadership of Yatta MP Hon. Robert Basil, is expected to benefit thousands of pupils by ensuring access to regular and nutritious meals—an essential factor in improving concentration, school attendance and academic performance.

The feeding program will play a key role in keeping learners in school, particularly those from vulnerable households. With the additional supplies, schools will be able to sustain meal provision throughout the term.

Speaking on the initiative, Hon. Basil reaffirmed his commitment to child welfare and quality education, noting that a learner’s well-being is central to meaningful learning and long-term development.

The initiative forms part of broader efforts by the Yatta Constituency leadership to strengthen the education sector through practical, people-centered interventions. As Yatta continues to invest in its children, the enhanced School Feeding Program stands out as a clear step toward nurturing healthy, focused and confident learners.

Governor Wavinya Ndeti Defends Youth Investment Agenda as Machakos Youth Service Expands Impact

Machakos County Governor H.E. Hon. Wavinya Ndeti has strongly defended her administration’s youth investment agenda, citing the growing impact and expansion of the Machakos Youth Service (MYS) as clear evidence of deliberate, results-driven leadership aimed at tackling youth unemployment through skills development.

Speaking during the pass-out ceremony of the second cohort of the Machakos Youth Service, Governor Wavinya said the programme has steadily grown in scale, acceptance, and relevance, reflecting its ability to respond to the real economic needs of young people across the county.

The second cohort saw 1,700 youths drawn from all 40 wards enlisted into the programme, building on the success of the inaugural intake. Following the pass-out, the graduates will proceed to Vocational Training Centres (VTCs) for fully sponsored three-month technical and vocational skills training.

The training will cover critical employable and entrepreneurial sectors including Electrical and Electronics, Culinary Arts, Motor Vehicle Mechanics, Plumbing, Masonry, Welding, Cosmetology, Fashion and Design, Event Management and DJ skills.

Youth Empowerment as an Economic Strategy

Governor Wavinya emphasized that youth empowerment in Machakos is not a social welfare project, but a deliberate economic strategy anchored in the Machakos Youth Empowerment Act, 2024.

“We are investing in skills because skills create income, dignity, and independence. Empowerment must go beyond speeches and promises—it must translate into practical, life-changing opportunities,” she said.

She noted that the Machakos Youth Service integrates hands-on practical exposure, income-generating activities, and workplace experience, ensuring beneficiaries are well prepared before sitting NITA examinations, which will earn them nationally recognized certifications.

From Training to Employability

The Governor assured parents and guardians that the county government remains committed to seeing beneficiaries through the entire empowerment cycle—from recruitment and training to certification, employability, and self-reliance.

According to the county leadership, graduates from the first MYS cohort are already making tangible progress, with many having started small businesses, joined the workforce locally, or secured employment opportunities abroad.

Currently, over 30,000 youths in Machakos County are members of SACCOs and cooperatives, a move the administration says is strengthening financial inclusion and collective economic growth.

In addition to the MYS programme, the county is supporting over 1,200 youths in vocational skills training and 1,000 youths in motor driving, digital skills, and boda boda riding, further widening pathways to employment.

Preparing Youth for a Global Market

Governor Wavinya reiterated that her administration is preparing Machakos youth for the global market, not just local opportunities, urging parents to guide their children through dialogue and mentorship rather than coercion.

Addressing the graduands, she challenged them to embrace innovation and discipline while remaining competitive in a rapidly changing world.

“Stay hungry, stay digital, and represent the Machakos brand wherever you go. Your skills are your licence to earn, to create, and to compete globally,” she said.

A Flagship Programme

The Machakos Youth Service remains a flagship initiative under the Ndeti administration, positioning Machakos County as a model for structured, skills-based youth empowerment.

“They say the future belongs to those who prepare for it. Looking at the youth of Machakos today, it is clear they are not waiting for the future—they are shaping it,” Governor Wavinya said.

The county leadership reaffirmed that youth-centered investments will remain a top priority, noting that when young people are empowered with skills and opportunities, the entire economy benefits.

“I am delighted to announce that the tarmacking of this road is now a reality in planning and execution. As the people of Kaiti, our hearts are full,” she said.

The Principal Secretary noted that the road had for years been used as a campaign talking point, but only materialized after deliberate lobbying, follow-ups, and alignment with the national development agenda.

“For decades, this road existed only in speeches. Today, we are changing the narrative from slogans to scorecards. Our people deserve development, not empty promises,” PS Mbaika emphasized

She thanked H.E. President William Samoei Ruto  for listening to the concerns raised and approving the project, describing the move as a clear demonstration of responsive and accountable leadership.

Once commenced and completed, the upgraded road is expected to significantly boost economic activity by improving connectivity between Kaiti and Ukia, easing movement of goods and people, lowering transport costs, and improving access to essential services.

PS Mbaika reaffirmed the government’s commitment to delivery, accountability, and measurable impact under the Kenya Kwanza administration.

“Indeed, The Plan is well on course,” she said.

Residents have welcomed the announcement, terming it a long-overdue breakthrough and a testament to the impact of consistent advocacy and results-driven leadership.
