Legal and Regulatory Services

At the Kilifi County Executive, our commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring regulatory compliance is integral to maintaining a fair and orderly environment. Under the leadership of Governor Gideon Maitha Mung’aro and Deputy Governor Flora Mbetsa Chibule, we focus on delivering comprehensive legal and regulatory services to support effective governance and protect the rights of residents.

Legal Advisory and Support
We provide expert legal advisory and support to ensure that county operations and decisions adhere to relevant laws and regulations. Our legal team offers guidance on legal matters, drafts and reviews legal documents, and represents the county in legal proceedings. We are dedicated to ensuring that our policies and actions are legally sound and in the best interest of the community.

Regulatory Compliance and Enforcement
Our department is responsible for enforcing regulatory standards and ensuring compliance across various sectors. This includes monitoring adherence to environmental regulations, land use policies, and business licensing requirements. We take proactive measures to address violations and ensure that regulatory frameworks are effectively implemented to protect public health, safety, and welfare.

Legislative Development and Review
We play a key role in the development and review of county legislation. This involves drafting new laws, amending existing regulations, and ensuring that legislative proposals align with county priorities and legal standards. We work closely with stakeholders to gather input and ensure that legislative processes are transparent and inclusive.

Dispute Resolution and Mediation
Effective dispute resolution is essential for maintaining harmony and resolving conflicts. We offer mediation and dispute resolution services to address conflicts between parties, whether they involve residents, businesses, or government entities. Our approach aims to resolve disputes amicably and fairly, minimizing the need for formal legal action.

Public Education and Awareness
Educating the public about legal rights and responsibilities is a key aspect of our services. We conduct outreach programs and informational campaigns to raise awareness about legal issues, regulatory requirements, and available resources. By empowering residents with knowledge, we support informed decision-making and promote compliance with legal standards.

Monitoring and Evaluation
To ensure the effectiveness of our legal and regulatory services, we regularly monitor and evaluate our processes and outcomes. We assess the impact of our interventions, gather feedback from stakeholders, and identify areas for improvement. Our goal is to continuously enhance our services and uphold the highest standards of legal and regulatory integrity.

Through our dedicated legal and regulatory services, we aim to ensure that Kilifi County operates within a framework of legal compliance, fairness, and transparency. Our efforts support effective governance, protect the rights of residents, and contribute to the overall well-being of the community.
