Following the grand opening of the Devolution conference last evening that is currently happening in Kirinyanga county, several media houses have taken effect to cover the fiveday event that is expected to host more than 6000 delegates.
However, it’s not good news to the Citizen TV crew that was deployed to cover the event after robbers smashed their vehicle and made away with most of their belongings including the gadgets used in covering.
Upon exiting the hotel, they found the window of their car had been smashed and the items missing. It is believed that the robbers opened the car through the smashed window. An eyewitness reported that he saw a car speeding off the scene of the crime.
Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru had promised tight security during a preparation meeting for the event. “We have held meetings with security officers from the region to discuss how the delegates will be protected during the conference,” she confirmed.
The conference will build up from previous ones and allow the government and its key stakeholders to discuss what they have managed to deliver, the transformation over the last one year and to measure the progress made in regards to President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Big Four Agenda.
