Eldoret City management is preparing to roll out infrastructure projects valued at over Sh3.5 billion this year, with groundwork already in place to ensure smooth implementation. As one of Kenya’s newest cities, Eldoret has attracted significant donor support due to its position as the North Rift’s economic hub and a strategic gateway to the East African Community.
Speaking during a consultative meeting of the KUSP II National Project Coordination team, City Manager Elseba Busienei reaffirmed the city’s commitment to high standards, timely reporting, and full compliance to secure continued funding. County Secretary Philip Meli stressed prudent financial management, while Deputy Speaker Sarah Malel highlighted strong collaboration between the legislature and executive. Stakeholders also urged closer engagement with residents to guarantee project success.
The World Bank has previously supported major upgrades in informal settlements, including roads, drainage, green spaces, sanitation facilities, and lighting. Governor Jonathan Bii said the new projects will expand these gains, further modernising the city and improving residents’ quality of life.
