Mutua also instructed all senior Machakos Government officials starting with himself, ministers, chief officers, directors, their deputies and heads of departments to work six days a week, so as to effectively supervise and implement development projects from next week.
“This “Turbo Maendeleo Chap Chap” method will run up to end of December 2016 whereby it will be reviewed and intensified,” said Mutua.
Mutua also directed that all senior officers should be on fieldwork for a minimum of three days each week supervising projects and listening to the needs of the public.
