The launch was graced by Safaricom Chief Corporate Security Officer Mr Nicholas Mulila. Mulila lauded Kitui County for embracing technology in delivering services to its residents.
The event took place at Kitui Governor's administration block. Malombe directed the ICT department to take a lead role in planning the realization of journey to paperless meetings and offices.
Some of the services that will be available at myCounty App are payment of county services, revenue management system, citizen reporting and engagement. Others will be catering for agriculture, health, utility bills and micro and medium enterprise programs.
