The Inspectorate Services unit, responsible for providing civilian security and safeguarding key county government installations, is set to benefit from a comprehensive staff upskilling program and the provision of essential work equipment. Chief Officer for Administration and Disaster Management, David Maraka, has revealed.

The Chief Officer, announced that the initiative aims to revitalize the directorate, enhance its visibility, and empower its staff to deliver more effectively.

“We are committed to overhauling the operations of the directorate. Our priority is to ensure staff have access to the necessary training and equipment. Additionally, team-building sessions and a staff welfare program will be introduced to boost morale,” Maraka stated.

During a meeting with the directorate’s staff to discuss performance improvement, Chief Officer Maraka emphasized the need for a complete operational overhaul to create a more efficient and effective team.
