CHAPTER ONE: BACKGROUND INFORMATION

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The County Second Quarter Progress Report reports on activities undertaken by the various

county government departments and agencies as reflected in their work plans. It further outlines

progress in implementing the plans, challenges encountered and way forward. The report covers

the periods between 1st October 2017 and 31

st December 2017.

1.1.1 Vision

A Prosperous and Attractive County in Kenya and Beyond.

1.1.2 Mission

To serve and improve our people’s livelihoods through good leadership, innovative technology

and efficient infrastructure

1.2 COUNTY BACKGROUND

Uasin Gishu County is one of the 47 counties in the Republic of Kenya. It lies between

longitudes 34 degrees 50’ east and 35 degrees 37’ West and latitudes 0 degrees 03’ South and 0

degrees 55’ North. It is a highland plateau with altitudes falling gently from 2,700 meters above

sea level to about 1,500 meters above sea level. The county shares common borders with Trans

Nzoia County to the 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.

Administratively, the county has six sub-counties (constituencies), namely, Soy, Turbo, Kesses,

Kapseret, Ainabkoi and Moiben. The county has thirty (30) County assembly Wards.

Uasin Gishu County’s economy is largely driven by agriculture; it is agro-based. It has large and

fertile lands which can be classified as high potential. The crop enterprises include food crops,

cash/industrial crops and horticultural crops. Large scale farming supports wheat, maize, 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

During the implementation period, the county government encountered a myriad of challenges

ranging from delays in procurement processes to delays in disbursement of funds from the

National Treasury. Prolonged electioneering period experienced in the country during the period

under review also adversely affected economic activities in the county. In addition, challenges in

infrastructure such as roads and other public institutions i.e. ECDE and health facilities are being

addressed by the county government.

1.4 METHODOLOGY

This report was generated by incorporating inputs of various departmental heads and county

government agencies from their respective reports forwarded to the County Treasury. Follow up

communications and meetings with the departments for clarification and additions were also

conducted to strengthen the content of the report. The departments should be impressed upon to

observe the deadline of 15th

day of the month after the end of every quarter to allow the

Economic Planning Department adequate time to compile county reports by the end of that

month.

1.5 LIMITATION OF THE REPORT

This report does not incorporate all the literature and narratives contained in the respective

departmental reports. It only captures major and key activities and achievements, challenges and

way forward of each department. For detailed and comprehensive information, departmental

reports will complement.


CHAPTER TWO: POLICY REVIEW

This chapter gives key policy priorities and objectives guiding development process in the

county in line with CIDP, Vision 2030 and the Medium Term Plan II (MTP). Development

process in the county was informed by the desire to create employment mainly for the youth and

women as a way of incorporating their participation in economic development; food security and

poverty alleviation; development of physical infrastructure to reduce cost of production,

improved competitiveness and provide access to the markets for both goods and services;

development of human resources for enhanced capacity to adopt innovative approaches to

development; and Information Communication Technology, a growth sub-sector with immense

potential of unlocking many opportunities in business, education, agriculture, industry and

security.

By the end of the CIDP (2013-2017) Uasin Gishu County anticipates to realize the following

broad development outputs/outcomes:

Improved physical infrastructure in the county – roads network, electricity, renewable energy

technology promotion, housing;

Improved food security and poverty alleviation – promotion of commercialization of dairy

industry, increased agricultural and livestock production, and trade;

Clean and secured environment and access to clean and affordable water and sanitation. Also

improved environmental regulation in line with EMCA 1999 for environmentally friendly

extraction of natural resources such as quarrying activities;

Improved school infrastructure for enhanced access to education

Improved health of residents of Uasin Gishu County through improved health infrastructure

and health care and reduced incidences of diseases and conditions such as malaria, HIV/Aids,

tuberculosis among others.


CHAPTER THREE: PROGRESS REPORTS

3.1 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICE MANAGEMENT

The Public Service Management is a department in the Department of Devolution, Public

Administration and Public Service Management, one of the ten departments in the county

government of Uasin Gishu. It is responsible for:

1) To identify reform opportunities for the County Government Human Resource and to advise

the County Government on policy innovations and strategy in those areas of reform.

2) In conjunction with the County Public Service Board, lead the strategic development and

management of the Human Resource in relation to: Planning, identifying risks and strategies

to minimize such risks; Performance management and recognition; and Equity and diversity,

including strategies to ensure implementation of appropriate strategies, policies, and practices

for leadership structure in the Department.

3) Advise the County Government on appropriate strategies, policies, and practices in relation

to such other Departments from time to time and provide technical support in the

implementation of the same.

4) Develop service delivery strategies through collaboration with other Stakeholders and the

wider community

5) Coordinate corporate communication at the county

6) Coordinate planning and branding of county events

7) Ensure proper records management in the registry

8) Provide legal advice and support to all departments

The department is further divided into three sections namely; the directorates of Human

Resource Management, Communication and the Legal section.

3.1.1 DIRECTORATE OF HUMAN RESOURCE

During the period under review, the directorate achieved the following:

A total of 280 staff members were able to take their annual leave as captured in the HR

Registry records.

A total of 308 students were attached in various departments

A total of Nine (9) members of staff were promoted of which one (1) from the

department of Economic Planning and Eight (8) from the department of health Services.


A total of Three (3) training requests for various courses

The county engaged 32 employees; Ten (10) of the employees under contract were the

County Executive Committee Members (CECM).

A total of 72 County members of staff exited service for various reasons.

Declaration of Income, Assets and Liabilities - 2017 was the year when all public officers

were required to make their declaration of income, assets and liabilities. Towards the end

of the month of November, 2017, all departments had received declaration forms to

distribute to their staff members. The forms were returned to Human Resource Registry

for verification and onward transmission to authorized officer by 31st December, 2017.

So far 87.6% of the total forms distributed have been returned.

Staff medical cover - Showing in the table below is a record of members of staff and their

dependants who were facilitated to access medication in various hospitals within Eldoret

in Uasin Gishu County during the period under review. They made a total of 2,699 visits

and the total amount incurred was Kshs 47,047,438.56.

Staff wellness week - A successful staff wellness week was conducted between 28th

November and 2nd December, 2017. Staff wellness week is an event that is conducted by

the County Government of Uasin Gishu with an aim of creating awareness on healthy

lifestyle to ensure a healthy workforce. During the week a number of staff members were

medically examined, advised and treated while other cases were referred.

Staff end-year party - Staff end-year party was conducted on 21st December, 2017

conjoined with the lighting of the Governor’s Christmas tree. During the party, the

County recognized and awarded 51 members of staff who had retired from active public

service. Also in the event, the best three performed departments were awarded with

trophies. Other awards like the employee of the year and Governor’s Christmas gifts were

also given to the winners.

Challenges:

Leave reconciliation remains a challenge since returns from departments are not

submitted to Human Resource Registry for updating.

Understaffing in the Human Resource Section. The section requires a HR officer per

department to handle HR issues and specific persons to handle specific crucial functions


such as Occupational safety, Training and Development, Records Management and

Employee Welfare.

Lack of staff establishment record which should be updated annually alongside the

budget

Harmonization of schemes of service remains a challenge.

Recommendations:

Leave management be automated and monitored from a central point.

The County to identify train and deploy from its existing staff those with Human

Resource and Records Management inclinations to take up the positions of the

underperformed tasks in the HR function.

There is need for a County staff establishment ascertain optimal staffing levels and to

guide in staffing

There is need to train HR staff on how to use the IPPD System.

3.1.2 DIRECTORATE OF CORPORATE COMMUNICATION

The directorate responsibilities include; Carry our media coverage on County functions and

events. This includes photography and videography; Develop content for the County website,

print media, LED screen and social media; Receive compliments and complaints from clients,

forward the same to the respective departments and administrative units and respond to their

queries; Coordinate county functions and events; and Prepare working papers related to local,

regional and international conferences, seminars and meetings pertaining to the County’s

activities, in coordination with relevant departments.

During the period under review, the directorate achieved the following:

Coverage of all departmental activities

Provided photos for the departmental handing over reports for all the departments

Participated in creation and making of the 2013-2017 handing over progress report

Updated the County infomercials aired in the LED

Updating the County Website, YouTube and Facebook accounts


3.1.2 COUNTY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE

The County Attorney’s section is an office headed by the County Attorney who works in

collaboration with four legal officers, one office administrator and two secretaries. The County

Attorney’s offers legal advice to all departments within the county government. This particular

section is mandated to handle matters that require legal analysis, legal representation and

advisory legal opinions.

The legal section is expected to achieve on the following targets as set out in the performance

contract. They include; Compliance with the Constitution on polices; Legislation on County

operations; Advisory and guidance; Legislative drafting; Legal process while procuring for legal

services; Managing Litigation; Enhancing county revenue collection; Implementing measures to

promote national cohesion and national values; Enhance good corporate governance; Enhance

implementation of County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP); Provide and manage the

requisite human resources for efficient service delivery; Provide and enabling legal framework

for County operations and programmes; Coordinate government functions and operations at all

levels; Promote public participation for participatory governance and decision making; and

Strengthen and sustain partners and intergovernmental relations

To highlight a few on advisory guidance we have issued on; (i) Advisory on issuance of licenses

in regard to betting; (ii) On disciplinary matters; (iii) On all instituted cases; and (iv) Advisory to

the committee of assumption of the office of the Governor.

During the period under review, the section’s implementation progresses include:

Compliance with the constitution on policies - the section is still engaging other

departments and looking forward to draft more policies in line with the Constitution.

Legislation on county policies - the section is involved in drafting various legal

documents which include; Bills, Agreements, Contracts, Memorandum of Understanding

(MoUs) and Opinions. The section alongside the CO`s and Directors, have successfully

negotiated, advised and eventually in some instances signed MOU`s and agreements with

various investors. The section has so far drafted and signed tender contracts with all the

departments We have advised and offered legal opinions to various departments as


sought, most notable ones being Industrial court matters, matters before Arbitration and

various land cases pending in court.

Litigation - This basically is the process of handling cases in which the County

Government has either been sued or is suing. The legal section took over cases that were

being handled by the defunct Municipal Council of Eldoret in addition to new cases

involving the County Government. A number of these cases are ongoing in court whereas

others have been concluded and judgement delivered. The section has on some instances

advised and proposed for out of court settlement and Alternative Dispute Resolution as

opposed to court process. Through this mechanism, some cases have been settled out of

court and others referred to Arbitration. The section has acted on several matters of

illegally acquired parcels of land, several complaints have been filled before National

Land Commission, Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission and a number of cases are

ongoing in court.

Offering advisory opinion - the section is keen to ensure that due process is followed by

the departments in disciplinary cases, policy making and drafting of legal documents so

as to avoid legal technicalities. We have also boosted service delivery of other

departments by issuing guidance in line to Constitutional, Administrative and

Employment law. There are instances where we have advised and opted for out of court

settlement and Alternative Dispute Resolution.

Enhancing revenue collection - the section is working with the relevant departments to

ensure that County legislations are adhered to in order to improve revenue collection.

Implenting measures to promote national cohesion and national values - we are liaising

with the relevant department on how best to approach this target noting that it is an

important measure to be adopted by the Government in line with the Constitution.

Challenges:

Some of the challenges faced in the section include;

Limited budgetary allocation.

Lack of space to expand the legal section more so to accommodate our new legal officers.

Lack of space and resources to establish a fully-fledged legal library/registry.


Slow response by some departments when requested for documents/evidence to be

produced in court.

Lack of office stationery to be used by the new staff.

Slow procurement processes on requisitioned items

Lack of a full-time vehicle for the legal section. The one allocated is an Executive vehicle

and cannot serve the section well given the kind of work assigned.

Conclusions and Recommendations:

In conclusion it is clear that the Legal Office has improved despite the many challenges. We

however endeavor to attain the success of our goals as a section and as a County at large.

However, areas of key concerns that we need to be addressed are:

Allocation of more funds as per our forwarded budget proposal.

Allocation of more office space, stationery and furniture to accommodate all legal staff.

Creation of a fully-fledged legal registry and library, this is by getting space and

allocation of enough funds to enable the legal section work towards its goals.

Allocation of full time vehicle to assist in office coordination.

It will be noted that the challenges and recommendations have not changed much from the

previous quarterly report; this is because we are still facing similar challenges as before which

we hope that they be addressed

3.2 DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION AND COORDINATION

of the county government for efficient service delivery; facilitate citizen participation in county

government activities; and ensure delivery of services to the residents of the county.

Challenges:

The contract period for the sub-counties offices have expired and procurement committee is

yet to extend the time. In addition, there is a variance between contract bills and drawings as

the case of Ainabkoi, ongoing construction is using a drawing twice as big as the initial used

during tendering.

Inadequate infrastructure and facilities for efficient delivery of services by field staff

Departmental functions are still largely centralized at the county headquarters which hampers

efficiency.

Recommendations:

There is need for the project managers in the case of sub county office projects to urgently

conduct appraisal of the projects to address the challenge (ii) above

There is need for provision of adequate development funds for construction and equipping of

field offices. Completion of the three ongoing sub county office projects and beginning of the

remaining three.

There is need for decentralization of functions by all departments to sub county and ward

level to increase access of county services by the public.

Challenges:

1. Lack of enough office space for the department.


2. Most of the personnel were new hence they require intensive training on management and

professional registration.

3. Inadequate funding for maintenance.

Way forward:

1. Completing the Directorate building in Kapsoya to offer office space.

2. Training new staff on management and professional registration.

3. The department, in collaboration with the National Government, is developing the CBD. This

entails surveying and designing of by-passes, new roads, walkways and cycle ways. This will

be followed by constructing the designed passages.

4. More funding is required to match the network already devolved to the county.

3.5 DEPARTMENT OF WATER, ENVIRONMENT, NATURAL RESOURCES,

TOURISM & WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT

The mandate of the department includes coordination of water supply and catchment protection,

provision of solid waste management, control of air pollution, noise pollution, public nuisance

and outdoor advertising; implementation of national government policies on natural resources;

environmental conservation; and Tourism & Wildlife management within the county.

Broad outputs and outcomes to be achieved by the department

Increased access to clean portable water

Increase water volumes through de-silting of dams

Running of water supplies

Protection of water catchment areas

Increase of forest cover

Efficient waste management in the county

Tourism development & Wildlife Management

Payment of suppliers/pending bills


Achievements:

Provision of water and sewerage services in the urban areas is also prioritized in the county. The

current total water production for Eldoret and its Environs is 36,000 M3

per day. This is way

below our current demand of about 60,000 M3

per day. To breach this gab, the county in

conjunction with Lake Victoria North Water Services Board developed Elgarini water project

that would give additional 9,000 M3

per day. The project was 75% complete and was expected to

be completed by end of 2017. In addition, plans were underway to develop Kipkaren water

treatment plant that would give additional 24,000M3

per day thus closing the gap. It is also

noteworthy to mention that for the first time, Eldoret Water and Sanitation Company

(ELDOWAS) made a surplus and this would be used to further improve services. Furthermore

the department in its endeavour to promote tourism continued to develop the county tourism

products during the quarter under review. Other achievements include: -

1. Maintenance of 7 NO (Moi’sBridge, Turbo, Sosiani, Burnt Forest, Ngeria and Kipkabus)

water supplies within the County. Sambut Water Supply is not operational due to disput

over land ownership.

2. 115 NO noise permits issued.

3. 6 NO clean up campaigns

4. Regular street cleansing.

5. Regular solid waste collection and transportation services.

6. Regular maintenance of solid waste disposal site

In the period under review, the department implemented the various programmes and activities

as indicated in the table 3.5.1

Other notable achievements:-

Issuance of Licenses

The directorate managed to issue about 1500 permits during the period under review and netted

about Shs. 4.5 Million in revenue. There were some manual permits that were also issued due to

insufficient ICT infrastructure in the rural areas

Hawking Regulations

Implemented hawking reforms to at least 90%, registered five Saccos, gave them identification

cards and uniforms and hawking zones and managed to secure a space at West market

Removal of Illegal structures

Managed to remove illegal structures that were being developed in Ziwa Market, Annex

shopping Centre, Road Block and many other areas.

Regulation of Slot Machines

Managed to impound several slot machines that were in operation in rural areas and were

allowing children to play.

County one stop shop and Yard Management

Started implementation of Yard Management system(YMS) and Que Management

System(QMS) for use at the county yard and county one stop shop respectively. The county


government owns and operates a yard that impounded goods are stored before the owners can

claim them after paying the stipulated fee as contained in the Financial Act. The County

Enforcement/Compliance teams are charged with impounding goods that are found to have

contravened the counties by laws. Impounded goods range from motor vehicles parked in non-

designated areas, motorbikes, fruits sold outside the market, traders wares (mitumba clothes,

hawker’s items) among others. Currently, there is a manual register that allows for the entry and

release of the goods. The system does not calculate fines automatically and does not trace the

released goods. It doesn’t eliminate the collusion between rogue county officers and traders who

may get the impounded goods released from the yard without the county’s knowledge hence loss

of revenue.

Development of Licensing Strategic plan 2018-2022

Managed to development strategic plan for 2018-2022.The strategic plan is in its final stages of

review towards the development of the final draft.

Markets management and supervision

Uasin Gishu County has six markets in the Central Business District (C.B.D) and over 30

markets at the sub counties. Overall, the county can net about Kes. 30 million annually from

markets. Congestion in some markets especially within CBD is evident. This is as a result of

collapse of wholesale markets due to the proliferation of many retail traders at the markets. The

county government needs to define all markets properly, tighten enforcement, finish major

renovations and develop large markets that can accommodate many traders. The activities that

were carried out in markets included Sanity restoration at Wholesale market due to congestion

and barricading of the access road, revenue collection, training of traders, construction of

markets, etc. The Challenges in markets that were encountered in markets were as follows;

a) Lack of complementary facilities. Traders operating in many markets that lack certain

physical facilities are reluctant to remit county revenue. A collapsed toilet in burnt forest

market in February 2016 resulted in nonpayment of revenue. Other markets with no toilet

Turbo, Ngeny, Rehema, Muchorwe, Kerita, etc.


b) The markets which are at the boundary of our county and other counties have low

revenue collection because the amount charged in other counties is lower compared to

ours hence traders prefer selling from the other counties.

c) Our attempt to push hawkers into Hawkers market was met with significant resistance

from the

Revival of dormant Markets

Managed to carry out publicity with an intention of reviving dormant markets that include

Kahoya, Cherunya, Kapseret and Mlango. There has been an increase in business activity since

then.

Challenges:

The Department was faced with a number of challenges among which are the following:-

1. Delay in the release of budgetary allocation for development and to run departmental

programs hampered achievement of departmental goals.

2. General staff capacity, the department faced challenges of inadequate training resources

to equip staff with the requisite skills to effectively deliver on its mandate.

3. Licensing of pool tables and funfair games were affected by mushrooming of Chinese

gambling machines. The Department couldn’t crackdown these machines as there is a

court injunction. This affected revenue collection as most operators preferred the

machines hence were not willing to renew their pool tables and funfair licences.

4. Licensing of Casinos is a National function. Revenue from the casinos goes to KRA as

VAT. Counties are expected to charge premises fees to the casinos according to Gazette

notice of 8th September, 2017.

5. Betting Control officers working at night in the casino are not ferried home due to lack of

a reliable driver residing near the town. They are yet to be paid their meals allowances

totaling to over two million shillings.

6. In the weights and Measures section, traders are not conversant with proper procedures of


using weighing scale and therefore require sensitization.

7. The department does not have actual number of scales in the County and therefore it

cannot predict the amount of revenue expected to be collected precisely.

8. Inability to verify underground tanks because the vehicle assigned to the Weights and

Measures cannot pull the prover tank

Recommendations

1. Streamlining departmental procurement processes to enhance access to funds for

implementation of projects/programmes.

2. Adequate allocation of resources for achievement overall departmental goals.

3. Counties should push through the Governors’ summit to be allowed by the National

Government to license and regulate these machines in order to generate more revenue. At

the moment they are operating without licenses due to the court injunction.

4. Counties should push through the Governors’ summit to be allowed to license sports

betting shops which are currently licensed from the national office of Betting control.

5. The Counties should push to be allowed a percentage of the casino license fees and also a

percentage of the revenue collected from casinos to cater for their expenses of

supervision.

6. Sensitization programs be organized to train traders on proper use of Weights and

Measures equipment

7. Facilitation be accorded to the Weights and Measures to purchase lead and discs

8. Provision of a vehicle that is able to pull the prover tank

9. An extra vehicle to be provided to the Weights and Measures section to enable them

perform their duties effectively and efficiently.

3.11 CO-OPERATIVES AND ENTERPRISE DEVELOMENT

This departmental report covers the activities for the second quarter for 2017/2018 financial year.

The activities were aimed at achieving the sector objectives which are:

The successful cooperatives have received funding between Ksh 500,000 to Ksh 5million.

The fund has operated as a revolving fund since its inception in 2014. The funded societies have

shown a significant improvement in loan repayment in the quarter. A total of Ksh. 5,410,756 was

collected in the quarter. In a bid to strengthen the capacity of the cooperative society, the fund

will train the 2016/2017 funded cooperatives in the third quarter of the current financial year.

During the quarters, the fund has made significant progress towards the attainment of the

objectives. The period witnessed fair loan repayment where a total of Kshs 5,410,756. It is

Other achievements:-

The renovation works for County Co-operative office commenced at a cost of Kshs. 1.96

million. The works are complete. There is need to do extra works which were not covered in the

BQs which include landscaping and drainage, slab around the building.

Challenges:

1. Inadequate knowledge on financial management and record keeping by cooperative

leaders

2. Low levels of education by some of the members and co-operative leaders which led to

low absorption of important issues in co-operatives.

3. Inadequate internal management and operational controls in the cooperative societies.

4. Political interference which leads to registration of small and unviable co-operatives.

5. The long electioneering period made it difficult to implement most co-operative

activities.

6. Unwillingness by the public to revive dormant societies in some areas.

7. Inadequate capital to do projects by the co-operative societies.

8. Inadequate co-operative officers to handle the massive work in the co-operative

movement. One co-operative officer manning 3 sub counties is a big challenge.

Recommendations to curb challenges:

1. The cooperative societies to be assisted to put in place good governance structures.

2. Strengthen the staffing in the department by recruiting more co-operative officers and

auditors.

3. Increase funding through the Co-operative Enterprise Development Fund to improve

capitalization in cooperative societies.

4. Sensitize co-operative members to build share capital to finance their projects.


5. Sensitize the leaders to embrace amalgamation of small weak co-operatives to come up

with strong organizations.

Challenges:

The fund during the period witnessed the following challenges:

a) Staff Capacity: the fund has only one employed staff. This makes the M&E job

cumbersome.

b) Motor Vehicle: the fund requires a designated vehicle for M&E and which currently is not

there.


c) Loan Repayments: a number of members of some dairy cooperatives faced drought

leading to low milk production and hence affecting the loan repayments by cooperatives.

d) Default: some cooperatives have lagged behind in loan repayments citing mismanagement

of funds and leadership challenges.

e) High demand for the loan: the fund has received many loan applications as compared to

the budget allocation by the county.

Recommendations:

The fund recommends the following to overcome the challenges:

a) Increase staff capacity by hiring additional staff for the fund.

b) The fund appeals for one motor vehicle for M&E.

c) The fund will carry out closer monitoring and evaluation of funded societies to ensure that

the resources allocated to them in form of loans are utilized as per the proposal. This

reduces cases of diversion of funds.

d) The fund shall carry out targeted trainings for funded societies on areas that need skills and

knowledge.

e) The fund will take appropriate measures to recover loans from cooperative societies that

have delayed their repayments to ensure full payment of the loans.

f) The funds recommends higher budget allocation of funds for the enterprise fund loans for

cooperatives

Department of Public works to prioritize assigning its officers to county government

flagship projects and set firm datelines for preparation of Bill of Quantities.

Deploy procurement and human resources staff to the department of health to enable

efficiency in management of functions.

Need for public education on available essential drug list for public facilities.

Increase budgetary allocation for power connection

The County legal team to follow up the National government to complete the incomplete

projects built through the Economic Stimulus Program and African Development Bank.

3.12 FINANCE AND ECONOMIC PLANNING

The County Treasury is established by PFM Act (2012) Sec 103 (i). It is comprised of two

departments namely; Finance and Economic Planning. It is charged with the responsibility of

monitoring, evaluating and overseeing the management of public finances and economic affairs

of the county.

3.12.1 Economic planning Department

During the period under review, the department achieved the following:

Preparation and submission of the policy documents to both executive and the County

Assembly as required by law (PFM Act 2012):

Compiled First Quarterly Report

The department also conducted sector hearings meetings for preparation of 2018-19

MTEF budget.

Conducted sensitization on the preparation of CIDP II.

3.12.2 Finance Department

During the period under review, the county Government of Uasin Gishu managed to collect a total of

Kshs. 116,501,748 against a target of Kshs. 320,833,333 representing a negative variance of Kshs

204,331,585 approximately 64%. The collection for the second quarter FY 2017/18 had a reduction of

Kshs 13,856,968.57 approximately 6.3% decrease from the same period in FY 2016/17 collection of

Kshs 219,860,420.70.


The drop in Revenue Collection was occasioned by;

(i) the political climate, the period witnessing election in month of October 2017 in the

country,

(ii) Political interference since residents tie compliance to politics,

(iii) Low ICT Literacy level among citizens and the view that ICT procedures are sort of a

punishment,

(iv) Lack of sufficient revenue legislations to guide in revenue collection and management,

(v) Court cases in Housing revenue,

(vi) Increased cost of vaccines in public health section lead to decrease in inoculation fees

(Revenue),

(vii) Nursery schools fees were not collected in FY 2016/17 which was abolished during the

year,

(viii) Break out of livestock diseases lead to closure of Cattle Auction thus reduction in Market

fees

As shown in Table 3.12.1, local revenue collection for the half-year period under review

amounted to Kshs. 116,501,748.
