Trans Nzoia County Manifesto | 2017 - 2022

August 2017, the people of Kenya will head to the polls with the same belief and hope that energized our freedom

fighters over half a century ago. Our forefathers bequeathed us the dream that one day our land will rid herself of

poverty, disease and ignorance.

But more than half a century since independence, we are yet to redeem the promised inheritance. We still hold on

to the hope that one day, we will be a proud and prosperous people living in abundance, peace and unity.

Guided by this very desire, and inspired by the resilience and industry of the people of Trans Nzoia, I offered myself

and you voted for me to carry the mantle on this journey, since the onset of devolution four years ago. Together,

we have built a solid foundation that has set our county up for a more prosperous future.

My able deputy, Dr. Stanley Kenei and I, remain committed to this cause and undertake to uphold the vision that

we set forth in 2013 when we took office; that we will endeavor to deliver real development for the people. Our

agenda is premised on a simple, yet powerful philosophy of Kazi Kwa Mpango, a Swahili expression that means

‘Service with forethought, for a noble purpose’.

We are proud of our achievements to date and are confident that we have laid a solid foundation for Trans Nzoia

County development and growth.

Construction of a 350 - bed capacity Teaching and Referral Hospital is nearing completion, sub-county hospitals at Endebess, Matunda, Kapsara, Saboti and Kwanza have been expanded and renovated. We have renovated the Kitale County Hospital and Mt. Elgon Hospital and installed new facilities. We have increased allocations for purchase of drugs year on year, procured 6 ambulances and hired more than 1,000 new medical personnel.

We have extended more than 300 kilometers of water pipelines under the gravity water supply schemes. We bought two (2) borehole drilling rigs and sunk more than 33 boreholes. We have sunk over 60 hand-dug wells and protected over 100 springs. This has led to an increase in access to clean and safe water from 18% to 35% of the county population in just four (4) years.

My Fellow County men and women,

Kazi Kwa Mpango

The construction of the Kitale Public Transport Terminus is now complete and will soon open to decongest our town. We have procured road construction equipment which have so far graded and opened more than 1,700 kilometers of county roads. We have lit up Kitale town and other market centers with street lights and high mast lights and improved back alleys in the central business district.

We have invested more than KES 225 million toward a fertilizer subsidy programme and rolled out a crop diversification program for coffee, tea, and bananas. We have also recruited farmers across the county to champion the program. In Agricultural mechanization, we have built capacity by acquiring modern agricultural machinery and made them available to all farmers. In livestock production, we have improved Artificial Insemination (AI) services, rehabilitated cattle dips, and rolled out an ambitious poultry farming project that has seen more than 30,000 chicks of improved indigenous chicken issued out to farmers.

We have constructed more than 120 Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) centres and employed a total of 766 caregivers. This has led to an increase in enrollment by over 100%. On vocational training, we have constructed and equipped 25 Vocational Training Centers (VTCs). Additionally, we have supported more than 36,000 students through the proprietary Elimu Bursary Fund to the tune of 375 million shillings.

My administration remains guided by the noble principles enshrined in our Constitution to ensure diversity, mutual respect, fairness, transparency and public participation in all its dealings. As testimony to our success, there has been an indisputable harmony sustained over the period we have been in office.

This document presents a summary of our achievements, in all key sectors of the devolved functions, over the last four years and sets out our agenda for the next five years. We shall continue to invest in Healthcare, Agriculture, Infrastructure, Environment, Education, and Water sectors of our economy. Further, we shall continue to invest in social cohesion – in line with our County motto of ‘Unity in Diversity’, and we shall continue to equip our

youth to face the future with confidence.

I verily believe that cooperation is better than conflict, unity is better than division, empowerment is better than resentment, and bridges are better than walls. I am confident that together, we stand a greater chance of actualizing the promised inheritance that has eluded us for over five decades and cannot be deferred any longer.

It is therefore my honest desire and prayer that you continue to stand with us, so that together we can deliver more. It is possible to have a Trans Nzoia that is peaceful, prosperous, inclusive and proud.

Sincerely, PS Khaemba

In delivering on our development agenda, we have anchored our values and beliefs in servant leadership, honesty, social justice and zero tolerance to corruption. We will be led not by the coming elections, but by principle, not by calculation and treachery, but by conviction, not by tribal mobilization, but by a higher purpose. Collectively, we will implement timeless ideas that will transform our county, build resilience, cohesion and guarantee sustainable prosperity.

With the benefit of foresight, and drawing from my immense experience in public service, I will continue to implement strategies that deliver long term value. My core team remains on the forefront in championing futuristic ideas in healthcare, education, agriculture and infrastructure. All our initiatives and projects are designed to empower our people, make our county more competitive and restore the pride of our land. We will provide an enabling environment for every citizen to reach their full potential in a fair, caring and prosperous environment.

Kazi Kwa Mpango is a Swahili phrase that connotes ‘Service with forethought, for a noble goal’. It essentially embodies the overarching principle of far-sightedness, profound vision, proper planning and working to the plan.

Over the four years, we have rallied our teams to share in the principle of forethought as a critical component for achieving set goals and objectives. We believe that for any meaningful development to be realized, there’s need for adequate planning, right from conceptualization, design through to implementation.

Contextually, Trans Nzoia County is a creation of the Constitution of Kenya 2010, which prescribed devolution of certain crucial services from the National to the County governments. Kenya’s adoption of devolution was drastic and came with huge expectations from the citizens - and this presented an enormous challenge in transitioning from a centralized government to devolved units. At the beginning of devolution in 2013, my administration, like many other counties inherited moribund local authorities that had been severely mismanaged over the years and their resources plundered to chronic levels.

The situation was so dire and this meant that our immediate challenge was to first develop and deploy an infrastructure that would allow us to provide services to the residents of Trans Nzoia county without delay. It was at this point that we developed a comprehensive County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) to outline our development agenda and guarantee long-term positive results. This was complemented by development of the guiding philosophy of Kazi Kwa Mpango (‘Service with forethought, for a noble goal’), to engender the spirit of forethought and intense vision among all the stakeholders.

To facilitate transformative development, service delivery and good governance for sustainable socio-economic development in Trans Nzoia County.

Our Vision and Commitment

Unbundling the Kazi Kwa Mpango Philosophy

Our Mission

our immediate challenge was to first develop and deploy an infrastructure that would allow us to provide services to the residents of Trans Nzoia county without delay.

Kazi Kwa Mpango

This philosophy is founded on three key pillars, in line with Kenya’s vision 2030 and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, which guide the strategic implementation of our activities and projects:

Pillars of the Kazi Kwa Mpango Philosophy

Economic

We focus on building a strong, responsive and competitive economy that supports growth and innovation. Through careful planning, we identify and coordinate development requirements, including the provision of infrastructure and a policy environment to support trade, agriculture, transport and investment.

Environmental

We believe in protecting and enhancing our natural, built and historic environment; and, as part of this, we are helping to improve biodiversity, prudent use of natural resources and minimizing waste and pollution. We are harnessing water (responsibly) from the Elgon and Cheranganyi ecosystems, harvesting ground water in remote areas and implementing a holistic solid waste management framework. We are also keen to mitigate and adapt to climate change including moving to a low carbon economy.

Social

We invest in building vibrant and cohesive communities by providing services required to meet the needs of present and generations. We are continuously giving directions towards creating a quality environment, with accessible local services that reflect the communities’ needs and support their health, education, social and cultural well-being.
