The Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) has applauded the County Government of Uasin Gishu for the prudent utilization of resources allocated for the implementation of various projects aimed at improving the lives of the residents.
While speaking on a tour of the projects in Soy, Moiben and Turbo Sub-Counties, CRA’s Commissioner, Khadija Juma, and the Chief Executive Officer James Tule, said Uasin Gishu County is among the few Counties that had completed crucial projects that were allocated resources by the National Government for development.
“We have noted a positive impact in many of the projects that are now benefiting the residents of Uasin Gishu who are the target users,” said Madam Juma.
Commissioner Juma and her team who were in the County on a two-day tour are on a mission to assess the impact of devolution and gather views for developing the fourth basis for revenue sharing among the 47 county governments.
“What we have witnessed in Uasin Gishu in terms of development is a clear indicator that the devolved system of governance is working and therefore there is a need to increase the amount of money allocated for development,” the commissioner added.
Chief Officer for EducationMarion Birgen told the commission that the introduction of a milk feeding program in Uasin Gishu had led to an increase of 2,000 ECDE learners in public schools.
The team also visited Ziwa Level 4 Hospital, Ngenyilel Vocational Training College, the Kimbilio Bridge and Ziwa Machine Water Project among others.
