Council of Governors chairman Martin Wambora has announced the postponement of the devolution conference following President Uhuru Kenyatta's directive suspending all public gatherings and in-person meetings for 60 days.
"The Steering Committee of the 7th and final Annual Devolution Conference hereby notifies members of the public on the inevitable postponement of the Devolution conference," he said on Thursday.
The committee will communicate new dates in due course.
The conference was to be held from August 23—26 at Makueni Boys High School with the theme 'Multi-Level Governance for Climate Action'.
The council had shed attendance numbers to 1,000 delegates down from an expected 6,000, and only those who had been vaccinated were to be allowed to attend.
Wambora said, "We take this opportunity to thank our partners, delegates and stakeholders who were committed in delivering a successful and safe conference."
"I urge all of you to get vaccinated in any of the accredited health facilities and adhere to all the health protocols issued by the Ministry of Health."
In Uhuru's order on Wednesday, the President also extended the curfew for another 60 days.
