 Key Management

The Municipality’s management is under the following key organs: 

• County Department in charge of Cities/Municipalities 
• Board of Management
• Accounting Officer/ Municipality Manager
• Management

Over the past year, the municipality successfully received the secondment of staff from the county government, ensuring that essential services are delivered efficiently. The Board also facilitated the acquisition of office space for the municipality, providing a centralized location for administrative functions and community engagement. A comprehensive needs assessment was also conducted in Engineer town, Ndunyu Njeru, Murungaru town, Weru town, Munyaka town, and Gathara shopping center to understand the challenges faced by the community.

The board prioritized the enhancement of urban services within the municipality, recognizing the critical role that infrastructure plays in the overall well-being of our residents. Substantial investments were made in key areas, including the construction of estate roads, pedestrian walkways, and parking facilities. These infrastructure projects have not only improved the safety and efficiency of transportation within the municipality but also contributed to a reduction in road user costs and travel time, while simultaneously enhancing revenue collection for the county.
