President William Ruto has announced further government decentralization by operationalizing new administrative units, with Marsabit County being among the first to benefit. This move aims to bring public services closer to the people, particularly in marginalized regions.

• The Uran Sub-County in Marsabit will be fully operational within the next two weeks, with Sagante and Jaldesa following in two to three weeks.
• Interior and National Administration Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen highlighted the Usajili Mashinani mobile identification drive, targeting over 72,000 residents previously without national identification.
• Nairobi’s administration has also been restructured into three new subregions—Nairobi North, Nairobi East, and Nairobi West—each overseen by a County Commissioner, for improved service delivery to its over five million residents.
