The Principal Secretary in the State Department of Energy, Alex Wachira, has called on technical officers engaged in the ongoing transfer of functions from the national government to the county governments to ensure the process is consultative.

Speaking at Sawela Lodge in Naivasha, Nakuru County, on Monday, the PS welcomed the move by the intergovernmental technical relations to revoke the Gazette notice that was published on 27th November 2023 to allow further deliberations.

"As the State Department for Energy, we were one of the people who urged the revoking of the Gazette notice because we saw that certain issues may not necessarily work and that there are areas that we may be able to collaborate," he said.

The Ps said the unbundling and transfer of functions should consider the views of stakeholders to enhance better service delivery without overlapping roles.
