Introduction

Background of County Round Tables in Kenya

With the concept of devolution firmly enshrined in the constitution of Kenya, 2010, the private sector reckons the urgent need for reorganizing its advocacy approach to ensure devolution works for business, without interrupting them or taking away from gains already reaped from the previous business advocacy.

Armed with this realization and appreciating the importance of solidarity in advocacy, Business Membership Organizations (BMOs) jointly organized a national consultative forum dibbed ensuring devolution delivers for

thbusiness: Building Coalitions in pursuit of business interest on the 18 April 2013. This national forum resolves that “devolution must not interrupt business: it must deliver for business and the county at large”

To ensure that devolution delivers for business, the national consultative meetings for Business Membership Organizations further resolved to adopt a new advocacy strategy for lobbying county governments. The BMOs agreed to formulate clear, structured and workable ways and channels to engaging county government to ensure coherence and consistency in their advocacy. In this line, BMOs in each county would create coalitions to pursue advocacy in the county governments through well organized forums, preferably, county round tables. The national meeting also resolved that BMOs in each region in Kenya would strive towards establishing a regional business agenda to avoid multiple and repetitive encounters with county leadership. Thos would in turn ensure coherent and consistent statement of business issues with a strong and united voice.

PART 11

Kilifi County Fact File

Kilifi County is located in Coastal Kenya; it borders the Indian Ocean to the East, Tana River to the North, Taita Taveta to the West and Kwela and Mombasa to the South. The county has six sub counties namely, Kilifi, Ganze, Malindi, Magarini, Rabai and Kaloleni. It has 17 divisions, 54 locations, 175 sub-locations as shown in Table 6. In terms of administrative units Malindi District is the largest while Rabai is the smallest in terms of

2area in Km .

The population of the county was estimated to be 1,217,892 in 2012 as projected in the Kenya Population and Housing Census 2009, composed of 587,719 males and 630,172 females. The population is projected to rise to 1,336,590 and 1,466,856 in 2015 and 2017 respectively at growth rate of 3.1 percent per annum. The Language spoken is mostly Kiswahili mixed with mijikenda dialetes though some of our youths speak some foreign languages eg. German, French and Italian.

Kilifi is served by several banks and financial institutions i.e. KCB, Equity, imperial, Kenya women finance trust, faulu Kenya among others. The county has a steady tap water system flowing from our major source, the Galana river with its pumping plant at Baricho in Malindi. However because most people consider tap water unsafe for human use, bottled water is always available to buy depending on one's budget. It is generally hot with temperatures ranging between 30 and 32 degrees when extremely high and up to 20 when low.

Each district has a well furnished Government hospital that is well stocked with medicines. However if one would like to seek for more expensive medical attention, some private hospitals are available. Medical rescue services which include AAR are also available on call. All the major towns i.e. Mtwapa, Kilfi, Watamu and Malindi have modern fire engines with full time crew members who are alert incase of any fires within your area of stay.

Kilifi County Business Agenda 201412

Kilifi has beautiful beaches which are absolutely safe to walk or even go swimming. Security is guaranteed where by regular surveillance from both the Kenya police and community policing has been enhanced. Coast sea survival is a community based rescue organization team which works under the county government to ensure life is protected when tourists and locals go out to swim on our beaches.

The county is endowed with a lot when it comes to tourism. Apart from the beaches it has cultural sites, educational sites, historical sites, marine parks, museum and gallery and breathtaking scenic views.For ease of transport the county has 3 airstrips (vipingo airstrip, mnarani airfield and kijipwa airfield) and Malindi airport with close proximity to Mombasa international airport. Malindi is easily accessible by road from the city of Mombasa which located 120 kilometers away. The Mombasa-Malindi highway is well maintained and a very busy road with traffic comprising personal cars, public transport "matatus" and commuter buses. Tour vans are also common feature on the road, transporting tourists to and from Mombasa hotels and other locations

Kilifi has vast mineral deposits whose exploitation could boost the region's economy Kilifi has approximately 1.4 billion tones of titanium, the mining firm notes. The Vipingo, Mamburi and Sokoke area that has titanium deposits covers 450.7 kilometres in total. The discovery of rare minerals in the county including niobium is expected to generate a lot of revenue for Kilfi combined with the ongoing sand harvesting and extraction of gypsum.

Agriculture is a major economic activity in Kilifi. Cash crops grown in the

county include cashew nuts, sisal, coconut palms, pineapples and

mangoes. Staples like banana, cassava, maize, green grams, cow peas are

also cultivated. Along the coastal plains, farmers grow horticultural crops

and vegetables such as tomatoes, chillis, onions, brinjals and okra.

Dairy and beef farming is also practised, accounting to a significant

quantity of beef and milk consumed in the county and beyond. Buzeki

Dairy, which produces the popular Molo Milk brand, has a milk

processing plant in Kilifi Plantations. Small-scale farmers also keep

sheep, goats, rabbits, pigs and bees.

The county boosts of a dozen of supermarkets and retail shops for ease of

shoping.The curio shops open air markets are found all around selling

fruits, vegetables, vikoi,mats and carvings.
