North, Elgeyo Marakwet County to the East, Baringo County to the South East,
Kericho County to the South, Nandi County to the South West and Kakamega
County to the North West. It covers a total area of 3,345.2 Sq. Km. with a
population, according to the 2009 Population and Housing Census, of 894,179
people. This population was projected to increase to 1,002,153 in 2012, and
1,123,165 and 1,211,853 in 2015 and 2017 respectively. It has six Sub-counties

has large and fertile lands which can be classified as high potential. The average
farm size in the county is 2-10 acres with a wide range of crop and livestock
enterprises. The crop enterprises include food crops, cash/industrial crops and
horticultural crops. Large scale farming supports wheat, maize, tea, coffee, flowers
and other horticultural crops for export. However, crop farming is mainly
concentrated on maize and wheat. Livestock enterprises include dairy, poultry,
sheep, goats, pigs, bee keeping and fish farming. But concentration is mainly on
dairy. The county can also support agribusiness and industries and this is yet to be
fully exploited. There are manufacturing, wholesale and retail activities taking
place in the county.
1.3
KEY DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES
Uasin Gishu County, just like any other county in the country, grapples with
challenges inherent in development endevour. During the period under review, the
9 | Page
county encountered a number of development challenges. The county had shortfall

of technical staff and capacity as the county was yet to undertake comprehensive
recruitment to fill staff and capacity gaps, an exercise not taken awaiting ongoing
staff rationalization and harmonization. HIV/Aids scourge put pressure on the
county resources, compounding the effects already felt due to the high poverty
level. Uasin Gishu County also had inadequate infrastructure, in the poor state of
roads especially during rainy season; water supply; and electricity. Severe
geological and geographical conditions in the county affect the roads sub-sector.
There were not enough infrastructures in schools and other institutions of learning,
though the county government and other devolved programs like CDF made efforts
to address this. There were also not enough teachers in a number of schools and
county polytechnics in the county. Inadequate access to credit and deforestation
were other development challenges in the county.

amenities expected of a modern city.
3.6ENVIRONMENT, ENERGY, WATER AND NATURAL RESOURCES
38 | P a g e
The Department of Environment, Energy, Water and Natural Resources was

created to oversee the devolved functions within this area. However, there were
some grey areas on the department that should squarely fall within its jurisdiction
but still ran by the national government, a good example being forestry. To achieve
the 10% forest cover by 2030, the mandate of forestry should have been given to
the county governments.
3.6.1 Water
The functions of this section include: Water, sewerage & sanitation services
provision; Water infrastructure development and maintenance; and County water
sector co-ordination.
3.6.2 Environment
The mandate of this section involves Waste management; Control of air pollution,
noise pollution, Public nuisance and outdoor advertising; and Implementation of

illegal dumping have been put in place. Kipkabus water project awarded to a
39 | P a g e
contractor out and expected to be completed by September 2014. The water

distribution will be by gravity flow thus making it sustainable compared to
pumping mode.
Sensitization on protection of Water catchment areas carried out in the month of
March 2014. The objective of this exercise was to sensitize the public on the need
to protect the water catchment areas for sustainable water supply.
Challenges:
Encroachment of wetlands riparian zones.
Inadequate funding for development of new projects and maintenance of
existing projects.
Low water volume productions from the existing treatment plants which do not
meet not meet the current demand.
Inherited staff from the defunct municipal and county councils initially resisted
the change but this was managed by the county government.
Way Forward:
There is need to sensitize the public on the need not to encroach on wetlands
riparian zones.
Adequate and timely funding of development projects.
3.7PUBLIC SERVICE MANAGEMENT
Public Service Management is made up of five sections, namely, Human Resource
Management, public Relations, Security and Enforcement, Governors office and

3.9FINANCE AND ECONOMIC PLANNING

Finance and Economic Planning is a Service Department that finances all the
activities of the County Government of Uasin Gishu. During the period under
review the county government managed to collect a total of Kshs. 665,374,166.14
as local revenue. The county received it share of national government transfer
53 | P a g e
amounting to Kshs. 3,796,628,687 in the period. In the same period, recurrent

expenditure amounted to Kshs. 2,528,794,885 accounting for 92.5 percent of total
expenditure. On the other hand development expenditure was Kshs. 203,769,554
thereby accounting for 7.5 percent of total expenditure. It is noted that the
foregoing expenditure proportions were based on actual expenditures and not on
the budget. Most of development expenditures were committed in the period. In
general, the countys budget surpassed the minimum fiscal principle of at least
thirty percent of total budget on development and a maximum of seventy percent
on recurrent expenditure.
Graph 1: Revenue collection dropped in the second quarter (October-December
2013) from the previous figure in the first quarter (July-September 2013).
However, collections increased sharply in the third quarter (January-March 2014),
before again dropping in the fourth quarter (April-June 2014). The sharp increase
in revenue collection in quarter three was because that is normally the peak period
in revenue collection. This is the time during which clients make payments on land
rates and renewal of single business permits by entrepreneurs.
Quarterly Revenue performance during the period under review was as given

Achievements:
The county integrated development plan (CIDP) was completed and approved
by the county assembly.
The county fiscal strategy paper was prepared and submitted to the county
assembly by 28th February 2014 as required by PFMA 2012.
County Budget for the year 2014/2015 was prepared and approved by the
County Assembly.
Payment of personnel emoluments was done.
The County Executive approved 100% waiver on payment of land rates which
realized Kshs 90 million.

The operational Expenditure was 99.9% achieved.

Funds were made available at the time required.
The supplementary budget was approved and implemented.
The County Budget and Economic Forum held the scheduled meeting.
Staff trained on Preparation of Statistical Sectoral Plans (SSP) and Project
Monitoring and Evaluation.

Revenue improved due to waiver on land rates penalties and engagement of
National Youth Service.
Challenges:
Inadequate number of technical staff.
Late disbursement of funds by the national government.
At the close of the year the County was not able to complete the development
projects forcing the county government to re-budget the same in the 2014/2015
Financial Year budget. This was due to late disbursement of the fund.
There is still a challenge on collection of revenue from the motor-cycles
operations in the outskirts of the town.
Way forward:
Recruit and deployment of technical staff.
59 | P a g e
National Government should ensure timely disbursement of shareable funds to

the county.
Fast track implementation of projects.
Enhance revenue collection especially in the rural areas.
The Finance Department is committed to ensuring that all the activities of the
County regarding Operations and Development are implemented as per the Budget
approved by the County Assembly in a transparent and accountable manner for the
benefit of the County of Uasin Gishu County residents.
3.10
HEALTH SERVICES
The county has a total of 170 health facilities ranging from tier 2 to tier 4. Most of
the facilities are concentrated within Eldoret Municipality. The average distance to
a health facility in the county is 7 Kms, slightly higher than the recommended 5
Kms.
There is a total health workforce of 988 serving in 111 county public health
facilities. The countys doctor to population ratio is 1:10,034 while that of
clinician/nurse to patient ratio is 1:2,331.
The health status of the population in Uasin Gishu County cannot be described as
optimal because it is faced with various health problems, common among them
being HIV/Aids, tuberculosis, pneumonia, diabetes, hypertension, and malaria
among the adult population. Whereas respiratory system diseases, diarrhea and
skin diseases is common among children under 5 years. Some of the risk factors
affecting the population include poor hygiene and sanitation, alcohol consumption,
negative cultural practices among other risk factors.
Achievements:
60 | P a g e
In line with the county integrated development plan, the county government
developed the County Health Strategic Plan 2013-2017 to facilitate
implementation of the national health policy, the vision 2030 and the health
provisions enshrined in the constitution.

The county government improved a number of health indicators such as
immunization coverage from 66% to 70%. This improvement was due to
immunization outreaches and increased immunization sites.

Delivery of expectant mothers by skilled attendants increased from 28% to 52%
largely due to improved access from the free maternity program, improved
health facilities and referral of pregnant mothers by community health workers.

Family planning coverage improved from 32% to 48% as a result of availability
of family planning commodities and trained staff.

Other indicators which improved include PMTCT uptake from 18% to 48%,
HIV counseling and testing from 22.3% to 56.8% and latrine coverage from
73% to 78%.
On non-communicable conditions, the county government hosted the national
commemoration of the world cancer day on 4th February 2014. This event was
graced by H.E the governor and the cabinet secretary for health during which
the county acquired 3 cryotherapy machines for cervical cancer treatment, while
the public benefited from free screening and treatment of breast, prostate and
cervical cancers. The county has decentralized cancer screening to the subcounty health facilities in order to increase accessibility. With support from
other health partners, the county intensified screening and advocacy in
hypertension and diabetes among other chronic diseases.

The county invested in health promotion activities to minimize exposure to
health risks. Youth friendly services in 21 health facilities were established to
address health risk factors among the youth. The county government also
enacted the Alcoholic Drinks Control Act and is in the process of carrying out
61 | P a g e
quality audits, inspection and liquor licensing pursuant to Part II of the Fourth
Schedule to the Constitution. This will go a long way in controlling the
production, sale, distribution, promotion and use of alcoholic drinks.

In addressing the huge burden of injuries arising from violence and road
traffic accidents, 30 nurses from 21 health facilities across the county have
been trained in management of sexual and gender based violence.

The county government procured and distributed to public health facilities
essential medicine and diagnostic reagents to the tune of Ksh. 40 million.

Infrastructure development was ongoing in more than 100 ward health
facilities.
The aim is to decongest Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital
especially of diseases that could be handled by lower level facilities. The

county government also plans to upgrade one health facility to offer
comprehensive maternity services. To improve quality of care, the county
government is in the process of acquiring modern equipment including
digital X-ray Machines, Ultrasound scanners and Theatre equipment.
Similarly, additional ambulances will also be purchased to strengthen
referral services across the county.

Human resource for health was strengthened through hiring of 17 new
members of staff, distribution and review of management structures. Staff
capacity development has been facilitated and a number of health workers
underwent various professional and management training. There are plans to
hire more health workers and promote those who have stagnated in one job
group across all cadres.

The county conducted 2 stakeholder fora to map out and prioritize
collaboration among stakeholders. The county shall continue to mobilize health
stakeholders to develop strategies in order to address various health issues
including HIV testing and behavior change communication in the most at risk
population (MARPs), health management information systems, malaria
62 | P a g e
control, safe motherhood and increasing immunization coverage among others.

This will aid in realizing the mission and vision of the county and achievement
of millennium development goals.
Challenges:
There were cases of children not completing full immunization schedule
(defaulters) thus affecting immunization coverage.

The county still lacked adequate capacity to handle non-communicable
diseases.
Burden of injuries arising from road accidents and gender-based violence.
Way Forward:
Enhance defaulter tracing through community health workers in order to further
improve coverage in the year 2014.

Scale up control of non-communicable diseases through training of staff and
equipping of health facilities to handle non-communicable diseases.

Train motorbike riders in collaboration with other sectors to reduce the
burden of motorbike accidents as well as improving quality emergency care
by equipping health facilities along the highway to manage trauma cases
arising from road traffic accidents.

ELDOWAS
Eldoret Water and Sanitation Company Limited is a corporate entity established in

1997 under companies Act CAP. 486 of the laws of Kenya and started operations in
the year 2000. Under the Water Act 2002 Eldowas carries out its functions as a
Water Service Provider under Service Provision Agreement (SPA) with the Lake
Victoria North Water Services Board (LVNWSB). LVNWSB has engaged
ELDOWAS to be a Water Service Provider in Eldoret and its environs through
service provision agreement (SPA) as required by the water Act 2002. ELDOWAS
63 | P a g e
is, therefore, expected to provide water services efficiently and economically in

Eldoret and its environs in compliance with SPA.
Achievements
In water production a total of 10,826,175 m3 of water was produced over the
period under review.
Water Distribution: The Company operates and maintains a comprehensive
water distribution network comprising of various sizes of pipeline ranging
from 600mm diameter steel pipes to 12mm diameter PVC pipelines. Over the
period under review, the company maintained the distribution network
satisfactorily. Reported leaks and bursts were attended to. Continuous
improvement of the system was also undertaken
Sewer Lines: The Company is charged with the responsibility of collecting
wastewater through the sewer network. Over the period under review, a total of
772 sewer blockages were cleared within the network and 74 manhole covers
were replaced.
In Compliance with WHO Standards 98% of all the drinking water samples
were collected and analyzed complied with the WHO Physico-Chemical
Parameter while 100% of the samples complied with the Bacteriological
Parameters.
Facilities Maintenance: During the period under review, the scheduled
preventive maintenance was undertaken and breakdowns addressed whenever
they occurred.
Billing and Revenue collection: During the period under review, the companys
billing for water services amounted to Kshs. 439,425,909.40 and collected a
total of Ksh. 417,443,177.97 equivalent to 95% collection efficiency.
Challenges
64 | P a g e
The greatest challenge facing the company at the moment is the fact that water
demand within the Eldoret Service area has exceeded demand hence the
company has resorted to supplying water through rationing.
There was a prolonged dry spell between January and March which resulted in
increased demand exerting more pressure on the already scarce water resource.
Quarry Sewage Treatment Plant experienced breakdown of the mechanical
screen on several occasions which necessitated shut down for repairs.
100% utilization of the two sewage treatment plants has not been realized due
to low coverage of the sewer network currently estimated at about 40% of the
town.
Kapsoya Treatment plant has not been receiving water due to aged pipes and
abstractions by the community upstream.
The 59% utilization of Chebara Treatment Plant is as a result of the failure of
the Chebara pipeline to transmit the additional flow to the 24,700 m3/day
design capacity. During the period, there were several stoppages to allow for
assessment and improvement of the pipeline including 48 hour stoppage for the
interconnection in Munyaka.
Wayward
The company is in the process of looking for investors to invest in the
extension of the sewer network through loans and grants.
The company is in the process of importing replacement parts for the screen
indicated in challenge number 3.
Plans are underway to lay a new raw water pipeline from Ellegrini dam to
Kapsoya Treatment Plant through funding from the World Bank.
