Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi advocated for leveraging on technology and data to improve service delivery in counties.
Mudavadi said for counties to harness more through their economic planning and national to county integration, embracing technology and having timely, accurate and verifiable data remains key.
He noted the digitization of public financial management processes within counties to be an enabler in real-time tracking, enhanced supply chain management, and improved decision-making through data mining and analytics.
“Let us work towards moving quicker with technology.
For us to close corruption holes, do away with mismanagement and pilferage we must embrace technology.
We have to find a way into the new digital world.
I agree some counties are moving on well but in others much has to be done,” said Mudavadi.
“In data mining, you mine what is valuable.
You don’t go and mine what is worthless.”
Mudavadi pointed out at the recent roll-out of e-procurement as an example saying counties like Samburu are leading by example with systems having been put in place.
