Jonathan Bii says he has so far initiated 825 new projects in the county within
the last two years.

the projects is going on smoothly, with the county having completed 128 out of
332 water projects in the region.
“I can confidently say
that I am on course to implement my Nguzo Kumi (ten-point) agenda for this
county, which covers all sectors,” said Bii.
The governor said the
projects were aimed at transforming the economy in the region and hence
uplifting the lives of residents.
He said his scorecard was
sound and that he would use county resources to ensure residents of Uasin Gishu
fully benefit from devolution.
The governor said
positive change had been achieved in key sectors including agriculture and
cooperatives.
“We are supporting our
farmers to venture into growing high-value crops like coffee and also join
cooperatives,” said Bii.

the programmes we have initiated,” said Bii.

had initiated were located in all the 30 wards in the county, with successes
also recorded in the education and other sectors.
