Communication Taskforce kicks off county hearings


A government taskforce appointed to review the state of government information and public communication functions has embarked on county level public hearings.

The Taskforce for Improvement of Government Information and Public Communications Functions, chaired by David Makali, will this week travel to Mombasa, Kisumu and Nyeri Counties for public participation forums.


Speaking in Mombasa, when he confirmed this week’s public forums schedule, Mr. Makali, said the Taskforce will host public hearing sessions in Mombasa, Nyeri and Kisumu on Tuesday morning.

In Mombasa, the public hearings will be at the Mombasa Community Centre Wesley Methodist Church along Koinange street, Tom Mboya Labour College in Kisumu and Nyeri.

The taskforce, he said, had already received a number of detailed memorandums and presentations from various stakeholders outlining points of reform for government communication and information endeavors.

“The Taskforce has made tremendous progress in our efforts to dissect the state of Government Information and Public Communications Functions and we are optimistic that the public hearings in Mombasa, Kisumu and Nyeri will provide much needed insights and recommendations,” said. Makali.
