Addressing the beneficiaries, the governor urged them to make good use of the purifiers, emphasizing that prevention is better and cheaper than cure. She noted that the initiative will save families money previously spent on treating preventable illnesses and ensure children remain healthy and consistent in school. In a further show of her holistic approach to child welfare, Governor Wavinya assured mothers that her government will ensure milk and food supplies to all public ECDE centers as schools reopen next year, strengthening the county\u2019s free feeding program.<\/p>\n<p>This landmark move comes just hours after Mizani Afrika ranked Governor Wavinya Ndeti as the second best performing governor in Kenya\u2014an accolade that now feels fully deserved. From healthcare to education and social protection, her administration continues to set the pace in service delivery. Indeed, Governor Wavinya is not joking when it comes to transforming lives and delivering tangible results for the people of Machakos County.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4924\" src=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG-20251215-WA0669-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG-20251215-WA0669-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG-20251215-WA0669-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG-20251215-WA0669.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor Wavinya Ndeti has once again demonstrated bold, people-centered leadership after her administration, in partnership with the Center<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4925,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4915","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-governance"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG-20251215-WA0850.jpg",1080,1049,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG-20251215-WA0850-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG-20251215-WA0850-300x291.jpg",300,291,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG-20251215-WA0850-768x746.jpg",640,622,true],"large":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG-20251215-WA0850-1024x995.jpg",640,622,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG-20251215-WA0850.jpg",1080,1049,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG-20251215-WA0850.jpg",1080,1049,false],"morenews-featured":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG-20251215-WA0850-1024x995.jpg",1024,995,true],"morenews-large":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG-20251215-WA0850-825x575.jpg",825,575,true],"morenews-medium":["https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG-20251215-WA0850-590x410.jpg",590,410,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"Kambaland Times","author_link":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/author\/kituitimes\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/category\/governance\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Governance<\/a>","tag_info":"Governance","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4915","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4915"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4915\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4926,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4915\/revisions\/4926"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4915"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4915"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kambalandtimes.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4915"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
