Energy, Infrastructure, ICT, Lands & Physical Planning 2018 – 2028 Sectoral Plan
Foreword
The Constitution of Kenya 2010, the Kenya Vision 2030 and its Medium Term Plans, provide the
foundation for the preparation of the First Sectoral Plans for Tana River County. This Sectoral Plan, will
be used to inform resource distribution and as a tool or resource mobilization in the face of limited and
competing priorities for the betterment of the lives of the people of Tana River County
The Kenya Vision 2030 is the country’s development blueprint covering the period 2008 to 2030. It aims
to transform Kenya into a newly industrializing, middle-income country providing a high quality of life to
all its citizens by the year 2030. The County’s vision of embracing urbanization for accelerated socio-
economic growth is in tandem with this overall national vision. The Sectoral Plans identify a number of
flagship projects to be implemented across the country for all sectors. The County Government has
identified county-specific flagship projects and programmes that will be implemented at county level and
work with the national government and key stakeholders to ensure these projects are implemented in a
responsible, transparent and cost-effective manner.
The preparation of this first Sectoral Plan is based on the County Governments Act, 2012 section 109
which mandates every county to prepare Sectoral Plans. The Sectoral Plan is a ten-year blue print that
highlights the socio-economic challenges faced by the County, strategies for resources mobilization and
programme interventions aimed at realizing our socioeconomic goals and desired impact.
The preparation of the Sectoral plan was done through a participatory process that involved various
stakeholders. The sectoral plans will provide a structured roadmap for planning, budgeting,
implementation, monitoring, evaluation and reporting for programmes and projects within the sector over
the ten-year planning period.
H.E. RTD. MAJOR DHADHO GADAE GODHANA,
Governor, Tana River County.
Energy, Infrastructure, ICT, Lands & Physical Planning 2018 – 2028 Sectoral Plan
Preface
The County Government Act, 2012 requires that counties prepare 10-year County Sectoral plans as
component parts of the County Integrated Development Plan, that shall be programme based and form the
basis for budgeting and performance management. These Sectoral Plans will be aligned with other county
and national long-term plans and will be implemented through 5-yearCounty Integrated Development
Plans (CIDP). Effective Sectoral planning will contribute significantly towards realization of the
objectives of the devolution as envisaged in the Constitution, Vision 2030, as well as the various enabling
legislations and policies on devolution.
The Sector plan should contain detailed analysis of the sector covering: the various challenges
experienced; the emerging issues affecting the performance of the sector; the environment through which
the plans will be implemented; and key developmental issues within the county with the relevant
interventions that inform the formulation of the programmes. The plan should mainstream various cross
cutting issues and clearly outline the implementation framework as well as the monitoring, evaluation and
reporting mechanism.
It is envisaged that the effective use of these guidelines will go a long way towards realization of the
aspirations the Kenya Vision 2030 and county transformative agenda. This will, in turn, contribute to
balanced growth and development throughout the country.

CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview of the County
This chapter gives the background information on the socio-economic and infrastructural information of
the county. It provides description of county overview, position and size, physiographic and natural
conditions, administrative and political units, political units (constituencies and wards), demographic
features, human development approach, infrastructure development, land and land use, employment,
irrigation infrastructure and schemes, crop, livestock, fish production and value addition, tourism and
wildlife, industry and trade, the blue economy (including fisheries), forestry, agro forestry and value
addition, financial services, environment and climate change, water and sanitation, health access and
nutrition, education, skills, literacy and infrastructure, sports, culture and creative arts, community
organizations/non-state actors, security, law and order, and social protection
1.1.1. Geographical Location and Size.
Tana River County is located in the coastal region of Kenya. The county borders Kitui County to the
West, Garissa County to the North East, Isiolo County to the North, Lamu County to the South East and
Kilifi County and Indian Ocean to the South. The county straddles between latitudes 000’53” and 200’41’’
South and longitudes 380 30’ and 40015’ East and has a total area of 38,862.20 Km2. The county has a
coastal strip of 76 Km.

1.1.2. Physiographic and Natural Conditions
The major physical features in Tana River County is an undulating plain that is interrupted in a few places
by low hills at Bilibil (around Madogo) and Minijilawhich are also the highest points in the county. The
land in Tana River generally slopes south east wards with an altitude that ranges between 0m and 200m
above sea level.
Energy, Infrastructure, ICT, Lands & Physical Planning 2018 – 2028 Sectoral Plan
The most striking topographical feature is the river Tana that traverses the county from the Aberdares in
the North to the Indian Ocean in the South covering a stretch of approximately 500km. Besides the river
Tana, there are several seasonal rivers in the county popularly known as lagas, which flow in a west-east
direction from Kitui and Makueni Counties draining into river Tana and eventually into the Indian Ocean.
The river beds support livestock as well as wildlife during the dry season since they have high ability to
retain water. River beds are most appropriate sites for shallow wells, sub-surface dams as well as earth
pans.
1.1.3. Administrative Units
The county is divided into three (3) administrative units namely; Bura, Galole and Tana Delta, 15 wards;
54 locations; and one hundred nine (109) sub-Locations. Table 1-1 shows the area of the county by
administrative units.
Table 1: shows the area of the county by administrative units.

1.1.4. Main economic activities
The county is categorized as an arid area due to its poor precipitation and divided into three livelihood
zones namely, Marginal Mixed Farming, Pastoral and Mixed Farming. The Marginal Mixed Farming and
Mixed Farming livelihood zones are ideal for farming while the Pastoral livelihood zone has great
potential for livestock rearing.
The main economic activities therefore are farming and pastoralism, however, fishing is done at small
scale along river Tana and the coastal shows in Kipini.
1.2. Background of the Sector
The constitution 2010, established a devolved system of Government with a National Government headed
by the president and 47 county Governments under Governors, with Tana River being county no. 004 of
047. Counties have specific constitutional Mandates under schedule 4 of the constitution. To facilitate
performance of these mandates, the Constitution provides for the establishment of a maximum of 10
ministries to perform the 14 devolved functions guided by the Classification of Government Functions
(COFOG). The Energy, Infrastructure, ICT, Lands and Physical Planning Sector is composed of the
following sub sectors:
Energy, Infrastructure, ICT, Lands & Physical Planning 2018 – 2028 Sectoral Plan
a) Roads and Transport
b) Public Works, Housing and Urban Development
c) Energy and ICT
d) Lands and Physical Planning
1.3. Rationale for the Sectoral Plan
Section 109 of the County Government Act mandates the County to develop ten-year county sectoral
plans. The County Sectoral plan is a detailed document describing the route that the sector will take to
achieve the goals and objectives of the sub sectors and their contribution to the sector’s overall mission of
provide efficient, affordable and reliable infrastructure for sustainable economic growth and development
through modernization, rehabilitation and effective management of all infrastructure facilities in the
County; adoption of clean and renewable energy sources and strategies; and streamlining the management
of all County ICT functions.
1.4. Approach/methodology in the preparation of the sector plan
This plan has been prepared through a participatory and consultative process; involving technical
analyses, stakeholder engagement with development partners, civil society organizations and the citizenry
of the county, as well as discussions at the County Executive Committee and County Assembly Levels.
The data provided within the Plan has been derived from various county departments and national
government agencies including the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) for general information
on population, poverty indices demographic dividends and other relevant information and statistics
required for planning. Departmental reports from County Departments and Agencies generated
periodically over reviewed periods including the County Budget Review Outlook Paper, Budget
Implementation Reports and Annual Progress Reports also provide sources of reliable data in the
formulation of this Sectoral Plan.

CHAPTER TWO: SITUATION ANALYSIS
This chapter highlights the current situation of the sector. It outlines the key achievements, challenges and
proposed strategic actions to address the situation. It also provides an analysis of strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats facing the department, and the baseline situation from which the County
currently operates and under which the formulation of this plan is anchored.
2.1. Sector Context Analysis
2.1.1. Socio-economic environment
Road, Rail Network and Airstrips
The total road network in the county is 3,377km with about 55 per cent in motorable condition. The total
road network is composed of 1,108km (class A – E) of classified roads and 2,269km (class U) of
unclassified roads. Out of this only 449km is bitumen surfaced. The major roads in the county include the
Madogo – Hola – Malindi road which is dilapidated and impassable at various points during rains. The
Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has however put in place plans to upgrade the 330km
stretch to bitumen standard, and the project is in the design phase and construction is set to begin as soon
as funds are available. The county has a 76Km sea front with Kipini operating as a fish landing site which
can be potential sea port for fishing vessels. The LAPSSET project will potentially open up the county
with road and rail network.
Posts and Telecommunications: Post Offices, Mobile Telephony & Landline.
The county is served by three mobile phone service providers that cover 55 per cent of the county. These
services are however concentrated along the Garissa- Malindi road. There are three post offices in the
whole county located at Bura, Hola and Garsen. The landline is in deplorable state and does not function
in most areas. There are five courier service providers in the county. Internet connectivity is still low with
most people using modems from mobile phone service providers. Investments in DSTV, Zuku and other
free to air satellite television has nevertheless made access to local and international broadcasts possible
in the county. The Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) Radio is the only media house which has a
signal in the county.
Energy Access (Electricity Coverage)
Majority of the population (87.5%) use wood fuel for cooking and 78.2 per cent use kerosene for
lighting. Only 0.9 per cent of the households are connected with electricity. There is a lot of potential for
the exploitation of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, and expansion of electricity
transmission in the county through the main grid.
Energy, Infrastructure, ICT, Lands & Physical Planning 2018 – 2028 Sectoral Plan
Housing
Tana River County has 547 pool institutional/government houses that accommodate civil servants. The
houses are however, inadequate and not properly maintained. This is due to insufficient funds, lack of
cheap and durable raw materials, among others.
Addressing the housing issue in the county will require the operationalization of the National Housing
Policy in the county, identification and disseminating of low cost building materials and appropriate
building technology, and creation of enabling environment to encourage investors to venture into housing
sub-sector.
Majority of the people (41.1 per cent) of Tana River live in mud/wood walled houses, with about 29.5
per cent living in grass straw houses. Twenty-six per cent of the roofing materials used are corrugated
iron sheets and 13.9 per cent makuti.
Lands
The land in the county is largely non-arable covering 29,798.7 km2. The rest is either under forest 3,457
km2, arable land covering 2,547 km2,and 3,059.5 km2 under national reserves.
2.1.2. Sector policy and legal framework
The policy and legal framework that guides the operations and development modus operandi for the
sector includes the following:
County Government Act, 2012
The County Government Act, 2012 Section 107 specifies the types and purposes of county plans. These
plans include County Integrated Development Plans (CIDP), County Sectoral Plans, County Spatial
Plans, and Cities and Urban Area Plans. The plans are meant to guide, harmonize and facilitate
development, and form a basis for all budgeting and spending in a county.
Specifically, Section 109 of the Act states that a County Department shall develop a ten-year county
sectoral plan as component parts of the CIDP. The County sectoral plans shall be programme based, the
basis for budgeting and performance management and shall be reviewed every five years by the county
executive and approved by the county assembly but updated annually.
Public Finance management Act, 2012
The Public Finance Management Act, 2012 Section 125 provides for stages in the county budget process.
The key stages for county governments planning and budgeting process in any financial year consists of,
among others: integrated development planning process which includes both long term and medium term
planning; planning and establishing financial and economic priorities for the county over the medium
term; and making an overall estimation of the county government’s revenues and expenditures.
Section 126 of the Act provides that every county government shall prepare a development plan in
accordance with Article 220 (2) of the Constitution, that includes: strategic priorities for the medium term
that reflect the county government’s priorities and plans; a description of how the county government is
responding to changes in the financial and economic environment; and programmes to be delivered with
details for each programme of the strategic priorities to which the programme will contribute, the
Energy, Infrastructure, ICT, Lands & Physical Planning 2018 – 2028 Sectoral Plan
services or goods to be provided; measurable indicators of performance where feasible, and the budget
allocated to the programme.
Urban Areas and Cities Act, 2011
Section 36 (2) states that an integrated urban or city development plan shall bind, guide and inform all
planning development and decisions and ensure comprehensive inclusion of all functions. In addition,
section 37 (1) of Urban and Cities Act, 2011 states that a city or urban area integrated development plan
shall be aligned to the development plans and strategies of the county governments. This guiding legal
framework will inform the operations and planning for Hola Municipality which is domiciled in the
Department of Urban Development.
Environmental Management and Coordination Act
The overall objective is to provide a framework for integrating environmental considerations into the
country’s overall economic and social development. The consultant is drawn to provisions of Sec 38 of
the Act which calls for identification and appraisal of trends in the development of urban and rural
settlements, their impacts on the environment, and strategies for the amelioration of their negative
impacts; proposal of guidelines for the integration of standards of environmental protection into
development planning and management and identification and recommendation of policy approaches for
preventing, controlling or mitigating specific as well as general adverse impacts on the environment.
Physical Planning Act, 2012
Defines the different types of spatial plans that may be prepared on different spatial scales.
Lands Act, 2012
This Act provides for consideration of conservation, environmental or heritage issues relevant to
development, and the management and use of public land for the purposes which it has been reserved. It
also provides regulations for the regularization of land tenure and land ownership.
The National Environmental Policy
The National Environmental Policy articulates Government’s commitment in Environmental protection
and sustainable use of natural resources. The consultant is obligated by this policy which include:-
optimum use of natural land in improving the quality of human environment; sustainable use of natural
resources to meet the need of the present and future generations; integration of environmental
conservation and economic activities into the process of sustainable development; and achievement of
national goals and international obligations by conserving biodiversity, arresting desertification,
mitigating effects of disasters, protecting the ozone layer and maintaining ecological balance on the earth.
Kenya Vision 2030
The Kenya Vision 2030 is the country’s development blueprint that aims at creating “a globally
competitive and prosperous nation with a high quality of life by 2030”. It further aims to transform Kenya
into “a newly industrializing, middle income country providing a high quality of life to all its citizens in a
Energy, Infrastructure, ICT, Lands & Physical Planning 2018 – 2028 Sectoral Plan
clean and secure environment”. The Vision is being implemented through successive five years Medium
Term Plans at the national level and the CIDPs at the county level.
Other acts relevant to the Sector are the Kenya Roads Act (2007), Architects and Quantity Surveyors Act
(2012), and the Roads Maintenance Act
Energy, Infrastructure, ICT, Lands & Physical Planning 2018 – 2028 Sectoral Plan
2.2. Sector Financing
Since the inception of devolution, the sector has received significant resource allocation owing
to the baseline situation in 2013. The county was highly underdeveloped in terms of road
network, transport and general infrastructure. Percentage of land with title deeds was as low as
4% and there was no spatial plan in place. Further, the County was not connected to the national
electricity grid and had no renewable energy strategy in effect or development. With a view to
spur development and accessibility in the county, the County has over time dedicated resources
to the Energy, Infrastructure ICT and Lands sector as shown in the table below.

2.3. Sector Performance Trends and Achievements
This section provides an analysis of the sector performance trends in the sub sectors.
Achievements in the sub sectors are highlighted below:
i) Roads and Transport: the sub sector has managed to highly improve the
motorableroad network from 1,083 km to about 1560 km. The road network in and
around Hola town has been upgraded to bitumen standard totaling 25km. The sub
sector intends to lobby for increased investment and resource allocation to further
increase accessibility and reduce the adverse effects of extreme weather conditions
experienced in the area such as floods originating from upstream during the heavy
annual rains.
ii) Public Works, Housing and Urbanization: The Public Works sector has overseen
the construction and rehabilitation of all county infrastructure, providing technical
support for other departments in the construction of residential and non-residential
buildings in schools (ECDE and VTCs), Health Centers (Level 4 hospitals and
dispensaries), Staff housing, and institutional buildings including the lands registry,
county headquarters and governor’s official residence. The sub sector will continue to
invest in capacity building of its human resource to enable prudent management of
infrastructural development across the county and committing resources to the
construction of the County Headquarters along with other flagship projects that will
uplift the developmental standard of the county.
iii) Energy and Information Communication Technology (ICT): The department,
through the Department of Public Works has made strides in installation of solar
powered street lighting in urban centers including Madogo, Bangale, Bura, Hola
,GambaIdsowe and Garsen. This is in line with the strategy of streamlining the
development agenda with the green energy considerations in the Sustainable
Development Goals. The ICT department has also managed to increase connectivity
at the County headquarters along with satellite department connectivity at the County
Energy, Infrastructure, ICT, Lands & Physical Planning 2018 – 2028 Sectoral Plan
Roads and Public Works Offices, Water Offices and the Lands Registry. The sub
sector has suffered from reallocation of resources in supplementary budgets over the
years due to competing priorities in the administration. However, with support and
increased funding the sector can go a long way in helping the county achieve the
goals spelt out in the SDGs and ICT related regulations such as e-sourcing in
procurement and general IFMIS modules to improve on adherence to the PFMA
2012.
iv) Lands and Physical Planning: the sub sector has made strides in the development of
the County Spatial Plan, Town Planning and formation of clusters to spur
development and resettlement in line with the overall theme of the 2018 and 2019
CFSP of Embracing Urbanization for Accelerated socio-economic development.
2.4. Sectoral Development Issues
This section presents development issues and their causes. It further highlights available
opportunities and the possible challenges that hinder achievement of the development objective
in relation to each development issue. The table below illustrates the development issues in the

2.5. Crosscutting Issues
1. Environment - Environmental issues have in the past not been fully incorporated in the
design and implementation of roads, public works, housing, urbanization and land use.
The potential negative impacts of this sector shall be minimized through incorporation of
environmental mitigation measures in the design and implementation of all works
projects in accordance with environmental legislation and as prescribed by National
Environmental Management Authority (NEMA)
2. HIV/AIDS - The HIV/AIDS endemic has been declared a national disaster by the
government. Therefore, the sector will mainstream the fight against HIV/AIDS and its
counter measures shall be included in all roads works and land use contracts and
programmes. In addition, the government’s HIV/AIDS policies relating to prevention and
treatment shall be pro-actively applied to all employees within this sector.
3. Gender - In the past, few women have taken the opportunity to seek a professional or
managerial career in the roads and public works sector. Both genders have an equal right
to fully participate in this sector. Therefore, the Sector shall mainstream gender issues
Energy, Infrastructure, ICT, Lands & Physical Planning 2018 – 2028 Sectoral Plan
throughout the roads public works, housing, urbanization and land use sector to ensure
and actively promote equal opportunities to achieve gender parity.
4. Special Interest Groups - The design standard for road infrastructure do not currently
adequately address the needs of special interest groups including vulnerable groups such
as physically challenged. The Sector will update the road design standards to incorporate
the needs of special interest groups to ensure that implementation when rehabilitating,
upgrading or developing infrastructure caters for special interest groups
5. Governance, Ethics, Transparency and Accountability – The infrastructure and land
use sector has in the past been perceived by the public as inefficient, opaque and allowing
for the participation of poor quality contactors. Various agencies responsible for funding
or executing the infrastructure works have not been able to complete technical and
financial audits within the specified time. The sector will therefore, promote and uphold
ethics, transparency, fiduciary duty, social responsibility, accountability and overall good
governance in the provision of infrastructure and will rigorously implement a policy of
zero tolerance to corruption. The sector shall endeavor to improve their efficiency and
effectiveness and shall account in accordance with internationally accepted accounting
rules.
2.6. Emerging Issues
Land Cover- There is consistent loss of vegetation to other competing uses such as real estate
development, agriculture, infrastructure development, industrial and commercial
developments and energy requirements.
Rangelands degradation. That is; the reduction of size of land holdings, fragmentation due to
conversion into other land uses, soil erosion and climate change leading to reduction I
pastures and water supply
Climate change has triggered erratic weather patterns across the country. The unpredictable
weather patterns have led to floods, droughts, famine and low water levels.
Unsustainable natural resources exploitation.
Environmental degradation
Provision of infrastructure and services in Human Settlements. Where most urban areas are
not provided with infrastructure such as safe water, sanitation, drainage, solid waste disposal
services and transportation infrastructure.
Rapid change in technology.
Energy, Infrastructure, ICT, Lands & Physical Planning 2018 – 2028 Sectoral Plan
2.7. Stakeholder analysis
The County Government Act, 2012 and the Intergovernmental Relations Act, 2012 provide for
County governments to foster relationships and partnerships with both state and non-state actors
in the conduct of their mandates to county citizens. The sector will engage key stakeholders in
execution of the sectoral plan. Such stakeholders are included in the table below:

CHAPTER FOUR: IMPLEMENTATION MECHANISMS
4.1. Institutional and Coordination Framework
4.1.1. Institutional Arrangement
The sector comprises of four sub sectors whose roles are mentioned below:
Energy, Infrastructure, ICT, Lands & Physical Planning 2018 – 2028 Sectoral Plan
Roads and Transport: The sub sector has the mandate of design, construction and maintenance
of County roads. It also coordinates the same functions in partnership with National Government
Agencies such as KeRRA as and when required.
Public Works, Housing and Urban Development: This sub sector is mandated with the
provision of safe, efficient and climate proof infrastructure through construction of new and
continued rehabilitation of existing buildings within the county. The sub sector is also charged
with quality assurance of private buildings within the county and ensuring building and
construction standards are upheld throughout the county.
Energy and ICT: This subsector is charged with the policy formulation and development of
infrastructure for provision of clean, renewable and sustainable energy in the County. The ICT
department has the responsibility of ICT framework formulation, management and maintenance
of all ICT infrastructure in the County.
Lands and Physical Planning:The sub sector seeks to ensure the sustainable management of
land in the County. It aims to facilitate the improvement of livelihood of the citizens through
efficient administration, equitable access and sustainable management of land resource in the
County.
4.1.2. Coordination Framework
CECMs
Sector Working Group
Energy, Infrastructure, ICT, Lands & Physical Planning 2018 – 2028 Sectoral Plan
4.2. Financing Mechanism
The total cost of funding this Sectoral Plan is Kshs. 10,117,000,000. The sector finances shall
mainly be from the County Government of Tana River through the sub sectors. Other sources of
funds are Public Private Partnerships, Development Partners and sector based conditional grants
such as the Road Maintenance Levy Fund. The sector working group and respective budget
implementation committees shall lobby for funds to finance its programmes and it shall guide the
budgeting process for the sector.
4.3. Capacity Development
The sector will need to provide skill-based capacity building for its officers over the plan period.
Engineers (Structural Civil, Electrical and Mechanical), Planners, Surveyors, and other
professionals will continue to receive training relevant to their roles to improve on quality
assurance and minimum standards as per the Public Investment Management guidelines. The
Sector will also consider the purchase of heavy machinery to reduce cost of road maintenance
and construction.
4.4. Risk Management
The sector has identified some of the threats that could possibly occur thereby hindering the
implementation of this plan and how best to avert the said risks. These risks could stem from a
wide variety of sources as listed below;
a) Delayed disbursement of exchequer releases
b) Legal liabilities such as disputes of land ownership where programs are to be executed.
c) Natural disasters and extreme weather conditions
Sector Committees
Roads and
Transport Public Works, Housing and
Urban Development
Energy and ICT Lands and Physical
Planning
Energy, Infrastructure, ICT, Lands & Physical Planning 2018 – 2028 Sectoral Plan
The above-mentioned risks will be accessed on an annual basis to ascertain the most relevant
mitigation measures to reduce adverse effects that the risks may have on the execution of
programmes and projects in the sector as well as the overall implementation of the Sectoral Plan.
CHAPTER FIVE: MONITORING, EVALUATION, REPORTING AND LEARNING
5.1 Purpose of M&E
The purpose of Monitoring &Evaluation is to establish common structures for tracking the
implementation of programmes and project interventions outlined in the sectoral plan. It provides
a consistent approach to evidence-based monitoring and evaluation to review the progress,
effects and impact of programs as stipulated in the sectoral plan by establishing links between
past, present and future interventions to inform future policy objectives and decisions.
