The Principal Secretary for Internal Security and National Administration, Dr. Raymond Omollo, has called on the Association of National Government Administrators of Kenya (ANGAK) to transition into a fully-fledged professional body focused on knowledge sharing and career growth. Speaking during the association’s 9th Annual General Meeting (AGM) held in Machakos, Omollo commended ANGAK for its achievements but urged members to think beyond welfare and embrace professional development.
The AGM brought together 339 administrators from across the country, including retired officers, in a show of unity and shared commitment to the welfare and advancement of National Government Administrators. Dr. Omollo, who also serves as the association’s patron, praised ANGAK for providing financial support to members in times of emergency and for initiating joint economic ventures to uplift its members.
“ANGAK’s achievements speak for themselves,” he noted, while emphasizing that the association must now broaden its mandate.
He proposed a strategic shift towards professional enrichment, recommending the introduction of structured mentorship and peer learning programs to help guide younger administrators. Dr. Omollo also outlined a vision for ANGAK to host annual conferences, regular seminars, and to establish an online knowledge portal. Additionally, he suggested the launch of a professional journal to allow members to share practical case studies and innovative administrative solutions.
“ANGAK should transform into a platform not just for social support, but for learning, knowledge exchange, and professional growth in public administration,” he emphasized.
Despite its national relevance, ANGAK’s current membership stands at just 339—only a fraction of the over 20,000 potential National Government Administrators countrywide. Dr. Omollo urged the association to work towards growing its membership and enhancing its influence.
“My vision is that in the coming years, ANGAK will stand in the league of Kenya’s most respected professional associations,” he said.
Dr. Omollo’s call to action marks a significant step toward redefining the role of National Government Administrators in Kenya, positioning ANGAK as a hub of professionalism, knowledge, and influence.
