The Council of Governors’ vice chairman Mwangi wa Iria has asked the State to establish a liaison office that will act as a link between the county and national governments. The Murang'a Governor said the Management and Budget Office should be created in the Office of the President to enhance communication with the CoG on the administration of the national government’s budget in the counties. “It is important for county governments to merge their own blueprints with the Big Four Agenda for posterity and make development a structured collaborative effort,” Wa Iria said. Wa Iria also called for the development of a Metropolitan Agricultural Master plan to help create a balance between urbanisation and agriculture. Wa Iria also recommended the establishment of County Export Processing Zones and regional Special Economic Zones to improve industries.
