The County Government of Nandi, in collaboration with the World Bank Group through the Kenya Informal Settlements Improvement Project KISIP 2 project, is providing support to the county’s plan to upgrade Mosoriot town and improve Informal Settlement in preparation for the anticipated El-Nino rains scheduled for October to December 2023.
To ensure the county’s readiness for the rains, the Chief Officer of the Department of Finance and Economic Planning, CPA Priscah Muigei, visited Mosoriot Informal Settlement.
Her visit aimed to assess the progress of the ongoing engineering projects for infrastructural development and guide residents in prioritizing projects within the allocated budget for the settlement.
During her address to the SEC and GRC settlement leaders and county government officials, she emphasized the importance of their support for the project, which is expected to enhance Mosoriot’s business environment and living conditions.
David Koech, the Chief Officer of Transport, Public Works, and Infrastructure, also expressed gratitude to KISIP and the Settlement committees.
He also pledged the department’s full support to ensure the project’s success and urged settlement leaders to leverage construction opportunities for the benefit of the local community.
The KISIP 2 Nandi CPCT, led by Coordinator David Kemei, called on settlement leaders and the technical team to ensure that the work adheres to high standards.
He also committed that his team will work diligently to benefit the residents of Mosoriot settlement and address any challenges that may arise.
The KISIP 2 project aims to construct Bitumen roads with drainage and walkways, toilets, floodlights, water kiosks, street lights, and social halls.
The meeting was attended by Chesumei Sub County Admin, Ward Admins, Area Chief, Assistant Chief, County Engineers, Quantity Surveyors, Architects, Environmental Officers, Land Surveyors, Social Safeguards Officers, and SEC & GRC committee members.
