Transparency and accountability :Governor Wavinya Ndeti Redefines County Leadership, Stuns Senate Committee with Unmatched Transparency.

In a commanding display of accountability and executive discipline, Machakos Governor Wavinya Ndeti led her finance team before the Senate Public Accounts Committee today to respond to audit queries raised in the Auditor General’s report for the 2023/2024 Financial Year. Flanked by CECM for Finance Onesmus Kuyu, County Secretary Dr. Victor Muya, and other top county officials, Governor Wavinya turned what could have been a grilling into a masterclass in public sector transparency—leaving senators both surprised and impressed by the precision and preparedness of her administration.

The committee, accustomed to evasions and finger-pointing from devolved units, was visibly struck by the clarity and confidence with which Governor Wavinya defended her administration’s fiscal decisions. Each query was answered with comprehensive documentation, showing clean trails of expenditure and a clear commitment to public accountability. One senator reportedly remarked that Machakos is “setting the gold standard” in county financial governance—an accolade rarely earned in such settings.

Governor Wavinya used the opportunity to reinforce her administration’s guiding philosophy: integrity over impunity, and service over self-interest. “We are investing in institutional reforms to ensure every shilling collected from the people of Machakos brings value back to them,” she declared. “This county belongs to its people, and it is their right to see results, not excuses.” Her remarks underscored a broader agenda that places fiscal discipline and citizen-centered service delivery at the heart of county governance.

In an era where many counties struggle with audit questions and reputational damage, Machakos under Wavinya Ndeti is emerging as a beacon of what devolved leadership can achieve when anchored in purpose and principle. As audit season reveals uncomfortable truths across the country, Machakos has instead told a story of transformation—a story where leadership is not just about holding office, but about honoring trust.
