dc.description.abstractThe need for proactive disclosure of information among public entities has been at the core of democracies for long. This has always seen governments pass policies detailing different ways that public bodies should release information. In Kenya, one of those policies is the public communication framework entailed in section nine of the County Governments Act (2012). However, despite the existence of the framework, the vision of proactive disclosure of information at the county level is not being realized, partly due to the way the framework is being interpreted and implemented. This study looked at how the County Government of Nakuru, Kenya, has implemented the framework. Results showed that the County has partially implemented the framework. The study recommends the establishment of a public communication office, the need for the County to use the media more for grassroot communication and the acceleration of the inclusion of marginalized persons in county dialogues.en_US
