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 topography is higher to the east and declines gently towards the western
border. The county experiences high and reliable rainfall which is evenly
distributed throughout the year. The average rainfall ranges between 624.9 mm to
1,560.4mm with two distinct peaks occurring between March and September; and
May and August. Dry spells occur between November and February. The
temperatures range between 7 degrees Celsius and 29 degrees Celsius.
10 | P a g e
Uasin Gishu 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. It has six Sub-counties
(constituencies), namely, Soy, Turbo, Kesses, Kapseret, Ainabkoi and Moiben. The
county has thirty (30) County assembly Wards. In addition, there are two divisions,
Kesses and Kapsaret, with fifty one (51) locations and ninety seven (97) sublocations.
Uasin Gishu Countys economy is largely driven by agriculture; it is agro-based. It
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
11 | P a g e
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.
1.4
METHODOLOGY
The report was compiled with input from the various departmental heads of the
county government by forwarding their respective reports to the Planning Unit of
Budget and Planning section, Finance and Economic Planning Department.
1.5
LIMITATION OF THE REPORT

3.3AGRICULTURE, LIVESTOCK AND FISHERIES
This department has four sections Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and
Veterinary services. The department seeks to improve the livelihoods of residents
of the county by promoting competitive farming as a business. It seeks to realize its
objectives through appropriate policy environment, effective support services and
sustainable natural resources management, create a favorable policy and legal
framework for the sustainable development of the crop and livestock sectors and
facilitate sustainable management and development of fishery resources for
accelerated socioeconomic development through research. Due to its central role
in the economy, the County Government is supporting all initiatives geared
20 | P a g e
towards improving the livelihood of the farmers. The county government is also
investing in the sector through improvement of infrastructure and policy
framework in order to provide enabling environment for both local and foreign
investors.
3.3.1 Agriculture
Main crops grown in the county are maize and wheat. However, other food crops
are also produced; these include beans, Irish potatoes, sorghum, millet, sweet
potato, cassava, arrow roots and horticultural crops. Main industrial crops
produced are tea, coffee, pyrethrum, sugar cane and barley, with minor ones being
ground nuts, sunflower and soya beans.
Most of the food crops are grown through rain fed production.
Achievements
Grain Storage facility at Tugen Estate Site in Moiben sub-county was almost
complete. Remaining works include terrazzo wrap, sanitary fittings, plumbing
works, painting and access road. Tuiyotich Farmers Cooperative Society was
identified and trained in 2013 in preparation for the project implementation.
Mobile grain drier was operational. It was being stored at AMS Eldoret
awaiting the completion of the store at Tugen estate. Simbi grain store Site in
Soy Sub-county was also almost complete; final touches and plumbing works
on-going. The Soy Cereal Bank Farmers Cooperative Society was identified in
2011 and trained as the group to manage the activities of the Grain Store.
Mobile Grain Drier was being housed at the store. The County was allocated
funds by the national government through the Economic Stimulus Project to
21 | P a g e
construct two grain stores each costing Kshs. 34 million and two mobile dryers
each costing Kshs. 8million.
Chepchobit and Sosiani dams in Tembelio Ward and Sosiani location, Kamagut
location respectively received funding from the National government for
desilting under the Water Harvesting for Food Security Programme. AMS
Eldoret was contracted to carry out the desilting which had already started at
Chebchobit dam.
During the quarter the county participated in two trade fairs. Agribussiness
Expo 2014 Kabarak University,Nakuru was held on the 14th to 15th of August
2014 and 4 officers attended this exhibition. The Chepkoilel Agricultural
Trade Fair was held on the 25th to 27th September 2014 and the department of
Agriculture exhibited during the fair. The purpose was to disseminate new
technologies to the farming community and to train farmers as well as showcase
opportunities in the agriculture sector.
Soil fertility in Uasin Gishu County has been declining over the years. This is
because of the continuous use of D.A.P on the same farms for a long time thus
making the soils to be acidic. The Uasin Gishu county government through the
ministry of agriculture thus saw the need to fund 1,000 soil samples through the
department of agriculture as a way of establishing the extent of this acidity
levels and also as a way of sensitizing the farmers in the County to take their
soil samples for analysis to establish the fertilizer recommendations for their
farms. Results dissemination workshop was held on 6th October 2013 at
Sirikwa hotel by Soil Cares Initiative. A total of 132 participants attended
comprising of staff, stakeholders and farmers.
The Horticulture Business Strategy continues with the promotion of export
vegetable and fruits. This has resulted to an increase in demand for certified
seedlings of the same. The strategy distributed avocado seed to farmers of
which most of it germinated and about to be grafted. The screen net and shade
22 | P a g e
nets were delivered and the nursery construction would begin soon. ASDSP is
also promoting passion fruit value chain and groups have been funded to
support passion fruit production in the county.
Food Situation Update:
During the period under review, food situation for the county was good as there
were no major incidences of food shortage. The sub counties remained relatively
food secure (most households had adequate and stable access to food). Maize,
beans and Irish potatoes were available in the market at fair prices.

Challenges:
Environmental degradation and declining soil fertility.
Climate change unpredictable weather and seasonal variations in the onset of
the rains.
Over reliance on rain fed Agriculture.
Post-harvest losses.
The level of soil fertility is low because of continuous use for a long time. This
has had adverse effect on crop production.
The land size has become small due to frequent subdivision. This has negative
impact on crop production.
High Input prices which limit farmers ability to increase input use to increase
production.
Low farm gate prices for produce particularly maize and beans during peak
production period.
Maize and Wheat are major crops in the County. The poor prices of the crops
have had adverse effect on farmers incomes.
24 | P a g e
Limited farmer friendly credit sources.

High incidence of pests and diseases.
Cases of Maize Lethal Necrosis Disease (MLND) were reported in all the sub
counties in the county. The disease was wide spread across the county with the
affected farms showing infestations of between 20-100%. Field surveillance
had shown that the disease is widespread in the county this season and the most
affected crop is the late planted maize crop.

Remarks: All the 6 Sub Counties have had cases of MLND. The most affected
crop is the late planted crop. The early planted crop may be affected but this maybe
manifested after harvest.
Way Forward:
Crop diversification.
Use of Fertilizers, farmyard and compost manures.
Increase yield/unit area, crop intensification and adoption of high value crops.
Expansion of cultivated area.
Development of Irrigation.
Value addition of farm produce.
Adoption of new technologies
26 | P a g e
Through improved livestock production e.g. poultry, dairy, piggery, beekeeping,

fish farming.

Challenges:
Water flows to the station have diminished and no longer sufficient to satisfy
water needs. This is due to old, rusted and clogged pipes.
The original fence of the institution has been vandalized by the surrounding
community leading to intrusion by outsiders and recurrent illegal grazers,
leading to increased insecurity and animal disease outbreak within the farm.
The centre has two tractors and old farming implements. The two tractors were
repaired and are currently in a fair working condition although breakages are
still experienced because of their old nature.
The demand for residential training is increasing and the station has only one
modern hostel which can accommodate 21 clients. The other two hostels are old
and not attractive to our clients.
Demand for practical dairy skills has increased since the revival of dairy
industry. The station has no model dairy unit for practical training despite
39 | P a g e
offering training in this area. The existing unit was old and required complete
overhaul.
The ATC depended on rain fed Agriculture for its Agricultural activities and this
limited its attainment of maximized production.
Way Forward:
There is need to increase funding for fencing the institution boundaries.
Construction of additional modern hostel which can accommodate at least 50
clients.
Construction of a complete modern dairy unit that can accommodate at least 10
dairy cows.
Venture into the production of high value crops for local and international
markets through irrigation by constructing a dam using a seasonal river passing
through farm, and which offers a good opportunity for the dam construction.
Surveys were done by county engineers and are yet to develop the bill of
quantities for the project.
Make use of the wide availability of crop and livestock products within the
catchment of the ATC and therefore offers an opportunity for Agro processing
and value addition.
Introduction of short agricultural courses for the youth and farmers for
enhanced knowledge and skill transfer, increased self-employment and reduced
food insecurity.

During the period under review, the following activities were undertaken at the
estates.
Kodhek estate tenancy was terminated to pave way for renovation of the
houses. Since the issuance of termination notices, some tenants have vacated
the houses and some went to court to challenge the termination.
Eviction of rent defaulters went on during the period and some estates have
shown reduction of arrears.
Unblocking of blocked sewer lines and waste water drainages was carried out in
several estates during the period.
Tenants complaints concerning rent balances were attended to.
51 | P a g e
Transfer of AMS houses which were formerly under the Ministry of Agriculture
was done and rent received from the estate is now being deposited to the
County revenue account.
Renovation of staff house in Elgon view block 13/85 was done and is now
ready for occupation
Preparation of BQs for fencing of house on block 13/85 and repair of the SQ.
Preparation of BQs for rehabilitation works to 21 No. houses at Kodhek Estate
Houses.
Formulation of county housing bill and policy.
Monitoring of ongoing upgrading activities in informal settlements under World
Bank funding (KISSIP and KMP Programmes).
Challenges:
Transport section has no vehicle to move round the estates now taking into
consideration the expansive county.
Lack adequate office space the estates office which was at social hall was
taken over by the ministry of education rendering the section with no office
to serve tenants.
Ownership dispute of Elgon view staff houses it has been difficult for
housing section to collect rent from staff houses in Elgon view mainly
occupied by outsiders claiming they have ownership documents
Repairs and maintenance of old houses most of the county estates were
constructed several years back and capital maintenance is not commensurate
to the income.
Arrears from staff houses reflected do not portray the true picture because
reconciliations have not been done. This is because the system used in
payment of salaries which is IPPD is different from the system used to
collect house rents.
52 | P a g e
Way Forward:
Provision of vehicles to enhance performance.
Establish a central office area that adequate for all staff so that staff output
can be properly controlled and monitored.
There is need to develop a system which can apply uniformly in the
collection of house rents.

Challenges:
1. Inadequate Machinery there is not enough machinery to repair and maintain
the road network within the county; the existing ones are old.
2. Frequency of breakdown of the few available machinery and long time to repair
due to nature of procurement process to acquire spare parts.
3. Lack of enough office space for the department.
4. Congestion and unsustainable infrastructure in the CBD.
Way forward:
In conclusion, a lot of the planned activities and projects are on course and all the
targets are achievable.
The department is expediting the procurement of a mobile workshop in order to
curb the challenge of delayed repair work.
The department in collaboration with development partners and other
stakeholder are exploring ways of utilizing the available resources to attain
maximum benefits.
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.
New plant operators are in the process of being hired to manage the new
equipment hence beefing up the construction and maintenance of roads is on
course.
3.6ENVIRONMENT, ENERGY, WATER AND NATURAL RESOURCES
58 | 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 mandate of the subsector is to coordinate water supply and catchment
protection within the county. The functions of this section include: Water, sewerage
&
sanitation
services
provision;
Water
infrastructure
development
and
maintenance; Local water catchment protection; and County water sector coordination. The county is endowed with a number of water sources which includes
rivers, dams and underground water. It also has six gazetted water supplies: Turbo
water supply; Moisbridge water supply; Burnt forest water supply; Sosiani water
supply; Sambut water supply; and Kipkabus water supply.
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
national government policies on natural resources and environmental conservation.
Achievements:
Maintained the six water supplies (operational) in the quarter through repairs
and maintenance of the system.
The department identified 60 community water projects to fund to increase the
availability of water to the residents.
59 | P a g e
Supervision and management of the ongoing Kipkabus water project was done
and the project is expected to be completed by 31st December 2014.
Identified areas across the county which will be planted with indigenous trees
on the commencement of long rains next year. The department was allocated
Ksh 3,000,000 for purchase of seedlings to enrich water catchment areas.
In the quarter, 125 noise permits were issued within the county.
26 Environmental Impact Assessment reviews were done.
Conducted two sensitization campaigns on waste management at Kimumu and
Kipkaren estates.
Issued 30 permits for solid wastes from outside the county to be dumped at the
dumpsite.
Introduced the seven-day street cleaning by creating a team that work within the
CBD on Sundays and be compensated by offs within the course of the week.
Challenges:
Implementation of the Kipkabus water project faced resistance from neighbours
upstream and KFS whose land the dam is located.
Way Forward:
Following on the expansion of the water treatment plant at Chebara.
Plans are underway to procure a noise meter for efficient accurate capture of
noise levels within the county.
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
international relations and the legal section.
60 | P a g e
It is a service department that co-ordinates service delivery in the county, with the
strategic theme being Re-defining service delivery for efficient and timely service
delivery.
Achievements:
Worked with different agencies like the National Land Commission and Ethics
and Anti-corruption Commission to ensure that illegally acquired public land is
reverted back to its original purpose. This involves investigating the various
documents used in the transactions. We then forward the documents to the
agencies to verify their authenticity.
Handled 54 legal cases during the period under review. Also took over cases
that were being handled by the defunct local authorities.
Governors office and Intergovernmental Relations - Intergovernmental
relations continued to be enhanced. In August we had a team from Minneapolis
visiting the county and they carried out training in the following areas: Disaster
preparedness and management; Leadership for the county Executive and
legislative arm; Leadership for women in policy making; and Youth training on
oral health.
In the month of October, two people from the Sister City of Arizona visited the
county and were helping us in the planning for establishment of a Pediatric
Hospital and School of Medicine at the University of Eldoret.

Weights & Measures

The subsection is fully staffed and is guided by an Act of Parliament which is in
force and we implement the same. Specifically the law relating to weights and
measures, known internationally by the name Legal Metrology is not only a vital
instrument of consumer protection but is also vital for the scientific, technical and
industrial development of the county. Legal metrology law has application in
almost all spheres of human activity within Uasin Gishu County ranging from
ordinary trade transactions in the market place to those measurements needed for
ensuring public health and human safety. We ensured that in ordinary trade
transactions, the sale of any commodity in loose form, the quantity delivered to the
purchaser is not less than the quantity contracted for and paid for.
Weights and measures subsection is mandated to do the following:
Calibration of Machines
Inspection of Standards
Prosecution in case of failure to comply with the set standards

This subsection seeks to regulate and control betting, lotteries and gaming
activities, protect members of the public against Fraud, eradicate illegal gambling
and promote responsible gaming in Uasin Gishu County. We are committed to
ensuring that gaming is conducted honestly and competitively with minimum costs
but maximum contribution to the County of Uasin Gishu and that it is free from
criminal activities like money laundering.

Nursing Section
Achievements
Participation in AWP development and implementation. Trainings of CHMT &
ScHMTs were done; the actual preparation of the Annual Work Plans and their
subsequent implementation is ongoing. Participation of nursing sector in the
development of Health strategic plan is worth being mention. Staff were also
trained on Rota, Meascles (18month) and the Tetanus Toxoid implemantation
campagn.
Facilitative support supervision. Support supervision activities were carried out
at the sub county level by the Sub County HMTs both facilitated by the County
department of health and partners.
Procurement of Nursing Commodities. During the report period, Reproductive
Health equipment was received from the Kenya Red Cross including MVA sets,
Delivery Packs, Caesarian Section sets, Oxygen Concentrators, cervical cancer
screening equipment etc. the equipment was donated for specific health centres
and hospitals. To improve on adequacy of nonpharmaceauticals, the nursing
department has asigned an officer the ensure sustained availability and
mainatinance of the commodities. commodities & stores and sets aside a buffer
stock of such supplies at the county stores to address shortages as and when
they occur.
Skilled Deliveries. The proportions of expectant mothers delivered by skilled
personell steadily increased from 42% as at end of june to 54.8 % end of
74 | P a g e
Septemba. This is attributable to training of staff on Basic emergency

maternal/Obstetric and neonatal care coupled with free maternity services.
Family planning. There is improvement in utilization of family planning
services from the year 2013/2014/ that was at 65% to 99.1% in the first quarter
of 2014/2015.
TB/HIV program. The total number of TB patient diagnosed during the period
the quater were 370 patiets and all are on treatment. 38 % of the patients are
sputum positive meaning that this patients are potentially infectious. About 80
% of the patients are adults. All 99% of the TB patietns were tested for HIV.
Challanges
There is worrying trend is the emergence of MDR TB (multi drug resistant TB)
with langas RCEA facility reporting 6 cases alone. 26 Patients have been ever
diagnosed, 23 commenced treatment, 2 died before treatment was commenced
(while awaiting Rx) and 1 currently being work up to start treatment. So far 23
have been put on treatment: 9 are still on treatment, while 11 successfully
completed treatment, 2 died and 1 defaulted. The defaulted case have been
traced and put in isolation through a court order.
There is a challenge in unavailability of auxiliary drugs for management of side
effects and Isolation wards for MDR TB patients.
Mothers accessing ANC services testing for HIV slightly reduced from 96.2%
the year 2013/2014 to 95.5% in the first quarter of the year 2014/2015. This
could be attributed to change in the new algorythm of HIV testing introduced
early this year.
Pharmacy Section
Achievements
75 | P a g e
EMMS supplies to health facilities. Distribution of pharmaceuticals and nonpharmaceuticals was done to health facilities in the month of August 2014.
Moiben and Kipkabus health centres however did not receive the last KEMSA
consignment but both have received some pharmaceutical and nonpharmaceuticals that will last them until we purchase more commodities for the
county.
KEMSA supplied 134 tins of albendazole tablets as a replacement of an excess
delivery of chlorpromazine tablets that had been delivered to sugoi B
dispensary. These will be redistributed to facilities
Support Supervision. During the period under review the department has
conducted support supervision to various facilities. These include Turbo subcounty hospital, Kesses sub-county hospital, burnt forest sub-county hospital,
Ziwa sub-county hospital, Huruma district hospital, kipkabus and Chukura
dispensary.
Challenges
There was a shortage of antibiotic registers in the high volume facilities but 10
of them were produced and distributed to the same
The department has very inadequate pharmaceutical personnel. This is the
reason why commodity management is a big challenge. Ideally, there should be
at least two pharmaceutical technologists in the high volume facilities and three
in each sub-county hospital then at least four at the district hospitals. The
county pharmacist has no computer with access to the internet and the
stationery necessary for day today running of an office.
The county pharmacist also requires an assistant, either a pharmaceutical
technologist or a clerical officer or both to assist with reports for various
commodities for programmes, commodity management and management of
pharmacies in the county as well as the management of pharmacy staff
76 | P a g e
The 10 antibiotic registers in stock were only for the sub-county and high
volume facilities but the other facilities do dispense antibiotics too.
Wayforwad
As a way forward facilities need to make their quarterly orders this month so
that by end of November, KEMSA or meds will be working on the orders. This
will help in reducing out of stock duration in the facilities
Negotiations with KEMSA need to be finalised so that the county can have a
storage facility for pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceuticals that are not
delivered directly to facilities or those that need close monitoring and control. It
will also enable the county to store buffer stock for emergencies and any other
eventualities.
Proper mechanisms have to be devised to ensure they are enough and
consistently supplied to facilities to ensure proper commodity management and
reporting.
Laboratory Section
The medical laboratory department is a key pillar in the provision of health
services. The mandate is achieved through application of modern scientific
knowledge and skills to guide in promoting health in diagnosis of both
communicable and non communicable conditions. Well established consistent
medical laboratory diagnostic services are essential for health promotion, disease
prevention, diagnosis, monitoring and client management. There are forty four (44)
GOK facilities with functional laboratory services in the county. Quality diagnostic
services will ensure early disease detection, guide in treatment and management of
clients, improved quality of care for communicable and non communicable
77 | P a g e
conditions in the county therefore promoting healthy living for all residents in the
county.
Achievements
Diagonistic servicess. The laboratory diagnostic service provision was achieved
at all active sites. The diagnosis falls in two groups of essential tests (routine
test) available at all diagnostic sites and specialized tests which are available at
specific higher level laboratory facilities at tier 3. Requisition for the supply
reagents is ongoing.
Specialized Equipments were acquired through National TB & Leprosy
program are three (3) Fluorescent Microscopes and One (1) Gene XPERT
machine for MDR TB & XDR TB Diagnosis. Two binocular electric
microscopes were donated by EXACT DIAGNOSIS Malaria study to Railways
and Mois bridge facilities.
Challenges
Inadequate staffing, part of these being attributed to end of contract for ESP
staff. 11 labs were manned by ESP staff and with expiry of their contracts,
laboratory services in those facilities were distrupted.
The lack of pre-qualified contracter to supply lab commodities have rendered
the department have operate sub optimally. The request is to the county to help
to enhance consistent diagnostic service delivery through continuous and
consistent supply of commodities.
Lack of specialized equipment in county and sub county hospitals. The county
to consider procurement of specialized equipment to promote quality health
care to guide in management of communicable, non communicable and lifestyle
diseases.
78 | P a g e
Laboratory infrastructure and equipment in some facilities are in a state of

disrepair. The county is requested to consider building a modern laboratory
meeting the required standard.
Clinical Medicine Section
Achievements
Service workload.The workload for the months of July. August and September
has remained steady with an average client total levels at approximately 2,100
per day at the OPD in the 31 facilities .
CCC clinics. on the on going hiv testing & counseling the county is doing well ,
so far 3482 index clients have been seen and out of that 9466 contacts were
traced, counseled and tested for hiv. out of the traced contacts 273 turned
positive and were linked to care (an hiv/aids prevalence of 2.8 % among
contacts).
Eye Clinic. sensitization workshop on primary eye care for CHMT/HMT done.19 partcipants.
SGBV Clinic. There is an upcoming sexual Gender Based centre at UGDH,
three staff trained, now open. To be officially opened soon.
Challenges
Some health facilities have some drugs out of stock,
need
for trainings to be harmonized so that all departments are inclusive
including clinical officers.

Nutrition Section
Nutrition department is one of the many departments that offers both promotive
and curative services in health. The department was able to perform most of the
activities well.
79 | P a g e
Achievements
Growth monitoring of all the children that were brought to all our facilities in
the county were weighed and the appropriate advice given to them .
Nutrition clinics in our facilities where we have a nutritionist were well
covered. Patients at risk of the main none communicable diseases were
identified through taking of anthropometric parameters. Action mainly
counseling was done to all these patients.
Other patients seen at the nutrition clinics were TB patients and all the other
patients screened and needed nutrition interventions.
Staff redistribution was also successfully done with a nutritionist manning a
health facility . The 12 nutritionists are now distributed to various health
facilities although he number of nutritionists is too low compared to the
population that they need to serve.
The department was able to source and get some therapeutic feeds for our TB
patients from partners. though little the feeds were able to lift the need for these
feeds temporarily..
The last quarter has seen the establishment of our very first mother support
group in ziwa health centre.Tthe group has been carrying monthly activities
with the mothers from the community at the health facilities grounds .
Micronutrient supplementation to different age groups has also been achieved
in the last quarter
the last quarter has also seen the establishment of the Ari-Nutrition project by
Amref in 5 units in the county with the aim of improving the nutritional status
and economic status of the community members through good nutrition and
agricultural practices.
Challenges
80 | P a g e
Very few nutrition staff for the county. we wish to have a nutritionist in every
ward and at least three in every sub county health facility. this would enable the
department to reach most of the community members that need nutrition
interventions.
Reporting tools have also been a hindrance in reporting
The correct prevalence for our nutrition indicators has not yet been realized
since the department needs to conduct a baseline survey to establish prevalence
Wayforward
Establishment of mother support groups in every sub county hospital to be used
as a forum for educating mothers on various health issues
Establish demonstration kitchen gardens in all sub county health facilities with
the aim of teaching the community on ways of reducing micronutrient
deficiencies by growing and proper preparation of foods.

Acquire enough nutrition reporting tools
Hold an inter- departmental training on IFAS supplementation
Acquire enough nutrition commodities for the county
Improve the reporting rates on nutrition indicators especially on DHIS
Public Health Section

The aim of the public health department is to promote health, prolong life and
prevent diseases through organized community efforts so as to ensure a healthy and
productive society. The department achieves this by undertaking health promotion
and health prevention activities. The activities undertaken by the public health
department in Uasin Gishu include; food quality control, plan approval, sanitation,
solid and liquid waste disposal, school health, hygiene promotion, vector/vermin
81 | P a g e
control, public health law enforcement, vaccination, revenue collection,

community strategy and disease surveillance and control.
Achievements
Food quality control. As per the requirements of the Alcoholic drinks control
Act 2013 of Uasin Gishu County the department received 200 applicants for the
alcoholic drinks license as compared to 500 received last quarter. The
department was able to generate Kshs. 1,919,000 through licensing. Mapping
and licensing of food premises were carried out and all food premises that met
minimum public health requirements were licensed and revenue collected
through licensing was Kshs. 344,060 compared with last quarter whereby Kshs.
1,249,820 were raised. This is due to the fact that most of the food premises had
already been licensed at the beginning of the calendar year. In order to ensure
that there were good hygiene practices in handling of food during preparation,
transportation, and sale, food handlers were medically examined where Ksh
517,300 was raised compared with last quarter whereby kshs 754,150 was
collected as revenue.
Prosecution. The department issued statutory notices to various authors of
nuisance who contravene the Public Health Act cap 242 whereby 700 statutory
notices were served and 456 complied compared to last quarter whereby 750
were served and 489 complied, . There were 297 cases taken to court, 8 are due
for mention and hearing and so far Ksh. 987,570 has been paid inform of fines
compared with last quarter whereby 250cases were taken to court, 11 were due
for mention and Kshs.735, 000 fined and this forms part of revenue generated
by the department of public health.
Disease Surveillance and Control. Detection and reporting of diseases targeted
for eradication, elimination and control is ongoing. So far we have investigated
82 | P a g e
13 cases of Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) and specimen taken to KEMRI

Nairobi for analysis out of 18 expected cases. In disease surveillance where 42
diseases are monitored on weekly basis, reporting rate has improved from 49%
to 56%. This has enabled the county to maintain high degree of alertness on
disease outbreaks monitoring, response and notification.
Environmental Sanitation. Waste management was well coordinated in liaison
with department of environment and where collection was carried out on
weekly basis from trading centres from sub-counties. In urban, public toilets
were also hired out for easy management whereby a total of Kshs. 380,000
compared to Kshs. 240,000 last quarter. The Public health office is charged with
Cemetery management and ensures that best practices were observed during the
calendar year and disposal of bodies as required by law. The office managed to
collect Kshs. 236,600 compared Ksh 219,000 collected last quarter as part of
revenue paid for the services. As part of ensuring that the population was
provided with good housing and safe occupation for businesses operation,
building plans were approved for construction and Kshs. 300,000 was collected
compared to Ksh 314,000 collected last quarter.

inspected for registration purposes and Kshs. 69,000 was collected.
Sanitation and hygiene. The department held a sensitization meeting on
Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) which is yet to be rolled out to the
entire county so as to improve sanitation and hygiene. The department works
83 | P a g e
with communities to improve latrine coverage which increased from 85% in

June 2014 to 89% in September 2014. In general the department of public
managed to collect a total of Kshs. 6,398,190 this quarter compared to
approximately Kshs. 6,288,320 collected last quarter.
Challenges
Inoculation department managed to raise Kshs. 863,690 compared to Ksh

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. The over 100% collection efficiency is as a result of
collection of previous outstanding debts.
Customer Services
The company has a Customer Service Section with four area Offices. During the
period under review, a total of 803 customer complaints were received out of
which 760 resolved equivalents to 94.6%.
Challenges
The 64.36% utilization of Chebara Treatment Plant is as a result of the technical
challenges 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 by a consultant engaged
by LVNWSB to carry out condition survey of the pipeline.
92 | P a g e
Kapsoya Treatment plant has not been receiving water due to aged pipes and
abstractions by the community upstream
Quarry Sewage Treatment Plant experienced breakdown of the mechanical
screen in August which necessitated shut down for repairs. All the wastewater
was redirected to Boundary Sewage Treatment Plant. The company is in the
process of importing replacement parts for the screen.
Way Forward
LVNWSB has engaged a consultant to carry out designs to upgrade the raw
water pipeline and the treatment plant.

3.12 ICT AND e-GOVERNMENT

This report gives a synopsis of the status of project implementation and assesses
the performance of the Department of ICT & e-Government in the first quarter of
financial year 2014/2015.
Achievements
Development of Performance Management Tool the department while
working with other departments was able to adopt the performance
management practice which allows all cadres of staff to be apprised to ascertain
delivery of targets stipulated in work plans.
Signing of Performance Contract by CEC and H.E. The Governor on Service
Delivery. The CEC signed performance contract with H.E. The Governor on
key deliverables contained in the work plan attached. The key objective is to
ensure delivery of ICT services in development agenda as well as, making
services efficient at all levels.
Recognition of 100% utilization of Development Budget of 2013/14 As a
department, ICT and E-Government utilized resources totally within time frame
stipulated. This is in line with government policy of spending. Unfortunately,
budgets should allow growth by 4% from previous year in deciding the
allocations for the sub-sequent budget figures.
Continuing projects:
County Data Centre
The department has been supervising the construction of the countys
ultramodern data center situated at the county headquarters. The data center
94 | P a g e
shall serve as the nerve center for all data storage and information for the
county and the region at large.
CCTV
The department has been supervising the installation of the CCTV at the county
headquarters. The installation of CCTV at the county headquarters is expected
to enhance security in various critical offices e.g. the county registries and the
entire county headquarters.
LAN installation
The installation of Local Area Network at the County headquarters shall
enhance communication at the county.
Car Tracking and Fleet Management System
The car tracking and fleet management information system is almost complete
as over 70 vehicles out of the projected 100 vehicles have been fitted with the
car tracking system. The remaining vehicles expected to be installed in all new
roads equipment and vehicles in the health sector programs.
GIS System
The GIS system is at an advanced stage with almost all the sectors in the county
mapped. The project is at user training stage as all Ward Administrators and Sub
County Administrators have been sensitized and trained on how to access the
system which is available at www.station.net/uasingishu.
County Website
The County website www.uasingishu.go.ke has been enhanced to a modern site.
It is indeed one of the most dynamic website which allows more than 100
persons to be enlisted for content contribution. Plans are under way for training
95 | P a g e
of officers in each department or entity to be able to capture their own

information on the website for public access.
Tele-Conferencing Facility
This project is at 75 percent completion, as it was awaiting installation of
various local area network equipment and completion of Data Centre. A similar
facility has been proposed for installation in County Assembly making it
possible for County Executive and Assembly to utilize technology for purpose
of clarification on programme implementation.
Partnership framework
The County has been pursuing engagement with World Bank on key support
areas namely, ICT infrastructure support, capacity building, and connectivity
and office automation aspects. Through ICT Authority of Kenya, County will
receive a Consultant who will help in preparing a road map for the County in
line with National, thereby helping us become competitive.
Challenges
Procurement Delays due to Capacity Challenges. It has come to be witnessed
that a lot of delays are related to capacity of the finance department to provide
enough personnel on procurement skills to support this critical service.
Under Staffing in ICT and e-Government department. Though the same have
been presented to County Assembly and Public Service Board, little has been
done to allow recruitment process proceed as initially planned. Now ICT is
relying on its 5 staff members to delivery on the huge mandate.
Insufficient Funds to support ICT and e-Government operations. Although ICT
was voted least; the resources can only support a small fraction of automation
process, particularly on revenue processes.
Way forward
96 | P a g e
Establish a County Policy and Strategy for ICT integration in service delivery.
A draft is available for discussion in next forum and sharing with County
Assembly once comments from stakeholders are received.
Create an e-leadership capacity development framework. The department has
identified capacity building for leaders to be two-fold: use of workshop and
study visits to relatively well established economies for purposes of learning on
experiences. Notably the study visit to Belgium Business expo in the week of
18 26 November 2014; Study visit to Cape Town in End of November and
early December. Visit to Belgium in March 2015 to check on establishment of
CIPAL, equivalent of County ICT Consultancy Firm. This aspect also looks at
capacity development of leaders across all levels.
Establishing ICT infrastructures. For County to leverage ICT as a socioeconomic agent, necessary infrastructure is required. County headquarters and
all campus networks (connecting to buildings housing officers here at Eldoret
town) need to be established. Then need for expansion to reach to the subcounty and ward level become timely. The ICT Department will also be
expanding and office accommodation will be urgent. This has been factored in
the budget 2014/15 resources.
To build a spatial infrastructure of the County. The ICT4D Department has
focused in setting a fully equipped division on Geo-spatial resource
management and tools in conjunction with Department responsible for land
matters. The spatial infrastructure of the county will be domicile in the Lands
docket, but digital support will be handled by ICT4D Department. Recruitment
has also been started off by the department for purpose of helping in the initial
setup phase.
Create a capacity development framework and exchanges on best practices.
This is the training of staff both local and long-distance. ICT capacity building
97 | P a g e
of more than 2000 staff is key for delivery of services to be captured in an

online sphere.
Create a platform for collaboration amongst the youth. From stakeholders
meeting, it became apparent that we have dire need for a platform that supports
youth engagement in the county. Particularly more towards job creation,
innovation and creativity in county services and citizen participation.
3.13

CHAPTER FOUR: CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

The period under review is the first quarter of the financial year 2014/2015. A
