on the right course, Nyong’o says.
Kisumu
Governor Prof. Peter Anyang Nyong’o has reiterated that his development agenda
for Kisumu County is on the right course.
Governor
Nyong’o says that already part of his ten point development agenda has been
implemented within the one year he has been in office.
Some of the
Governor Nyong’os ten point Agenda include Revitalizing Agriculture or food
security and promotion of agribusiness as well as ensuring a healthy population
living in a clean environment.
Building modern physical infrastructure, Promoting
skills development and innovation and Opening the Kisumu lakefront for business
and investment are among them.
Others include provision of decent housing in
inclusive towns, semi-urban areas and villages, Promoting sports and culture.
Others are promoting
tourism driven by culture and heritage alongside new products;promoting industrialization and a vibrant
service sector; and Deepening structures of devolution while improving the
efficiency and productivity of the county government.
He says the
implementation of this agenda has involved setting goals for the short-term and
mid-term.
He says other achievement his County Government has made under the short term include Improving sanitation in the city including relocation of Kachok dumpsite as well as renegotiating the Kisumu Urban Project (KUP) and reviving projects under the program including Kibuye, Otonglo and Jubilee markets.
He adds that carrying
out a census of Community Health Volunteers and providing modest rewards
to make them Community Health Workers (CHWs} as well as Initiating the
rejuvenation of the sugar and rice sub-sectors is part of the ten point agenda
that have been tackled.
He further says commencing
the establishment of Village Councils, Kisumu County Roads Maintenance Teams
(KCRMT) and Kisumu Economic and Social Council (KECOSOC) is also part of this.
"All of these
short-term goals are either fully achieved or almost done. The City Board is in
place. We have successfully renegotiated the KUP grant for a no-cost
extension to complete the projects envisaged under that program,” Nyong’o
further says.
