According to Kenya News Agency, the DCC highlighted the importance of transparency in government service transactions and encouraged the public to avoid cash payments. “Use the e-citizen platform to pay for government service charge. There should be no cash payment,” Kieti stated, adding that this method would help eliminate avenues of corruption in the delivery of government services.

Additionally, Were spoke on the importance of cautious land transactions within the community, advising residents to sell land only to known and trusted individuals to mitigate security risks. He commended the local security agencies for their efforts and encouraged public cooperation with the police to maintain safety in the region. Highlighting future security plans, Were announced his commitment to establishing a new police station in Ragwe, Kodera North location to strengthen law enforcement presence in the vast area.
