he Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Interior and National Administration, Hon. Kipchumba Murkomen, was warmly received at Kanyakine in Meru County today, where he officiated the unveiling of the new Abogeta Sub-County Headquarters. This momentous occasion marked a significant step in the region’s administrative development as the local community welcomed the new facility aimed at improving service delivery and governance.

In a ceremonial event that attracted a large crowd of local leaders, residents, and government officials, Hon. Murkomen lauded the government’s commitment to enhancing the efficiency of administrative services at the grassroots level. He emphasized that the establishment of the Abogeta Sub-County Headquarters would create a more responsive and accessible government presence in the region.
