People's Development Audit — Kiambu County

A full-stack digital oversight platform built for the Office of Senator Karungo Wa Thang'wa — covering all 60 wards of Kiambu County. Field agents used an offline-first mobile app to submit project findings, GPS coordinates, and photo evidence. A real-time dashboard gave the Senator's team live visibility into budget vs delivery gaps, ward scorecards, and auto-generated accountability reports for Senate oversight proceedings.

The Challenge

Senator Karungo Wa Thang'wa needed to audit all 60 wards of Kiambu County to verify government project delivery against budget allocations — capturing photo evidence, GPS coordinates, and community testimony from the ground. The challenge: deploy field agents across a large county with unreliable connectivity, and get structured data back within days.

What We Built

An offline-first mobile PWA for field agents — storing form entries and media locally, syncing automatically when connectivity returned. A real-time web dashboard with interactive ward maps, project registries, budget vs delivery analysis, and a 100-point ward scorecard engine. A PDF/DOCX report generator producing accountability documents suitable for public release and Senate oversight proceedings.
