Health
We prioritize an enormous amount of resources in the health of our people and consider it an invaluable investment to the development of our great County. Our focus therefore is improving on human resources for heath, patient access to effective and affordable medicine and shifting from curative healthcare to a more in preventive strategy (primary healthcare).
Water
We are a government that believes in access to safe and clean water for all. We, therefore, make meaningful investments in the water sector for durable and environmentally friendly infrastructure that focuses on drilling boreholes and the construction of water pans. Our efforts also extend to augmenting piping to supply clean, fluoride-free water for both domestic and agricultural use.
Agriculture
Our investments in agriculture are intentionally climate smart designed to address issues of food security and enhance pastoralism while integrating diversification into crop farming .
Education
We believe in the importance of Early Childhood Education and are therefore investing in both its human resources and infrastructure requirements. Equal level of attention has been directed to our polytechnics for acquisition of vocational skills as we believe jobs and businesses of the near future will demand a wide range of skills sets.
Infrastructure
Modern infrastructure is pivotal for socio-economic development of any society . To spur growth and development, we are as government investing in roads for connectivity, a state-of-the-art FIFA standard stadium and a modern market to increase trading volumes and revenue.
Technology
As the world moves towards reliance on modern technological solutions, governments can not afford to be left behind. We have therefore shifted our operations from manual to digital platforms; Electronic Payroll, Electronic County Integrated Monitoring and Evaluation System (E-CIMES), Geographical Information System (GIS) and Disaster Information Management System (DIMS).
