The town hall meetings will bring together government officials, youth groups, student groups, civil society and community leaders to discuss critical governance and economic issues, share ideas, and provide feedback for sustainable development and policy refinement.

Key sectors such as healthcare, infrastructure, tourism, investment, sanitation, agriculture and economic empowerment will be focal points, with government officials addressing pressing questions from journalists and the public.

Over the next few quarters, the Ministry will visit other counties to further engage citizens and gather feedback on government projects and policies.

This grassroots approach aims to decentralise government communication, ease access to information, and bridge the gap between the government and the people, ensuring everyone contributes to national growth and prosperity.

The government town hall meetings will culminate in a national forum, where feedback and recommendations from all sector of society will be consolidated and presented to the government for implementation.
