Taita Taveta County is county 006 out of the 047 counties in Kenya. The county itself operates under Kenya’s devolved governance framework, with administrative services decentralized across four sub-counties and 20 wards .
The county’s administrative system comprises three tiers:
- County Level: Led by the Governor and County Executive Committee (CEC), responsible for policy, budgeting (e.g., County Fiscal Strategy Papers ), and oversight of departments like Lands, Energy, and Public Works.
- Sub-County Level: Four units (Taveta, Mwatate, Wundanyi, Voi) headed by Sub-County Administrators. They coordinate service delivery, infrastructure projects (e.g., road maintenance ), and disaster response.
- Ward Level: Twenty elected MCAs represent wards, collaborating with Ward Administrators on community development and public participation.
- Chief’s Locations: Assistant Chiefs handle local disputes, birth/death registration, and security liaison.
