The annual Devolution Conference in Kirinyaga on March 7, 2019, brought together counties from across the country under the leadership of Governor Ann Waiguru. Laikipia County participated in the event, showcasing local products and initiatives.
While the conference highlighted regional development efforts, the display by Laikipia County sparked discussions about the county's overall impact and priorities. The event provided a platform for counties to present their economic and social projects, but some observers questioned whether the exhibition reflected the county's full range of activities.
Images from the conference circulated widely, prompting public debate about the visibility of Laikipia's contributions to devolution efforts. The gathering underscored both the opportunities and challenges in regional development under Kenya's devolved governance system.
