During the devolution conference at Makueni, Matiangi had called for an intervention on climate change since the damages of climatic change fueled insecurities in nomadic areas.
He then appealed to the County governments to develop their own security infrastructures as the National Government would support them.
"Conflicts resulting from climate change have forced us to redesign our national security strategies. Focusing on grassroots conflict resolution, we as the National Government support the push to have Counties develop their own security infrastructures," Matiangi stated.
The conference saw the launch of Ugatuzi Sacco, a project of the Council of Governors, which is an investment and savings platform for all Kenyans. The purpose of the Sacco is to ensure affordable financial services to its members.
