Kang’ata, Natembeya, Wanga Ranked Among Top 10 Best Performing Governors – Infotrak Survey
Nairobi, Kenya – February 11, 2025 – Murang’a Governor Irungu Kang’ata has emerged as the top-performing governor in Kenya, according to the latest Infotrak Countrytrak Performance Index 2024. The survey, which evaluates how county governments are performing in devolved functions, shows Kang’ata leading with an impressive 68% approval rating.
The survey, conducted between October and December 2024, sampled over 36,000 Kenyans across the country and assessed governors based on 12 core devolved functions, including agriculture, health, education, roads, water, environment, and public participation.
Kang’ata, a first-term governor, was closely followed by Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya, who scored 64%, and Homa Bay’s Gladys Wanga, with 61%. The rankings also saw Kisumu Governor Anyang’ Nyong’o securing 59%, rounding out the top four.
Other governors in the top ten include Mutula Kilonzo (Makueni) and Wisley Rotich (Elgeyo-Marakwet), both tied at 57%, completing the top six.
The survey highlights several factors influencing county government performance. Notably, 27% of Kenyans cited increased corruption and the mismanagement of county funds as significant reasons for the decline in performance across many county governments. Other concerns included poor service delivery (14%), unmet expectations (13%), lack of transparency (11%), and slow implementation of development projects (10%).
Infotrak’s findings are based on an analysis of the core functions of county governments and provide valuable insight into how Kenyans view the performance of their local leaders. With governors like Kang’ata, Natembeya, and Wanga leading the way, the rankings reflect a mix of strong governance in key sectors and continued challenges for some county administrations.
The survey’s results are a testament to the growing impact of devolution in Kenya, with citizens increasingly aware of and engaged in the performance of their local governments.
