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

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.

Inadequate Machinery, there is not enough machinery to repair and maintain the
road network within the county.
Frequency of breakdown of the few available machinery and long time to repair
due to nature of procurement process to acquire the spare part.
The funding is not enough to meet the needs of stakeholders demand in part of
infrastructure within the county.
There is not enough equipped office space for the department.
Traffic Congestion in CBD, Eldoret Town.
Way forward:

entails surveying and designing of by-passes, new roads, walkways and cycle
ways. This will be followed by constructing the designed passages. Care will be
taken to provide for parking and emergency services such as fire and
ambulances. The second part of this strategy entails developing a
comprehensive urban development plan which provides for all services and
amenities expected of a modern city.

HEALTH SERVICES
The county has a total of 170 health facilities ranging from tier 2 to tier 4. Most of
the facilities are concentrated within Eldoret Municipality. The average distance to
a health facility in the county is 7 Kms, slightly higher than the recommended 5
Kms.
There is a total health workforce of 988 serving in 111 county public health
facilities. The countys doctor to population ratio is 1:10,034 while that of
clinician/nurse to patient ratio is 1:2,331.
The health status of the population in Uasin Gishu County cannot be described as
optimal because it is faced with various health problems, common among them
being HIV/Aids, tuberculosis, pneumonia, diabetes, hypertension, and malaria
among the adult population. Whereas respiratory system diseases, diarrhea and
skin diseases is common among children under 5 years. Some of the risk factors
affecting the population include poor hygiene and sanitation, alcohol consumption,
negative cultural practices among other risk factors.
Achievements:
60 | P a g e
In line with the county integrated development plan, the county government
developed the County Health Strategic Plan 2013-2017 to facilitate
implementation of the national health policy, the vision 2030 and the health
73% to 78%.
On non-communicable conditions, the county government hosted the national
commemoration of the world cancer day on 4th February 2014. This event was
graced by H.E the governor and the cabinet secretary for health during which
the county acquired 3 cryotherapy machines for cervical cancer treatment, while
the public benefited from free screening and treatment of breast, prostate and
cervical cancers. The county has decentralized cancer screening to the subcounty health facilities in order to increase accessibility. With support from
other health partners, the county intensified screening and advocacy in
quality audits, inspection and liquor licensing pursuant to Part II of the Fourth
Schedule to the Constitution. This will go a long way in controlling the
diseases.
Burden of injuries arising from road accidents and gender-based violence.
Way Forward:
ELDOWAS
64 | P a g e
The greatest challenge facing the company at the moment is the fact that water
demand within the Eldoret Service area has exceeded demand hence the
company has resorted to supplying water through rationing.
There was a prolonged dry spell between January and March which resulted in
increased demand exerting more pressure on the already scarce water resource.
Quarry Sewage Treatment Plant experienced breakdown of the mechanical
screen on several occasions which necessitated shut down for repairs.
100% utilization of the two sewage treatment plants has not been realized due
to low coverage of the sewer network currently estimated at about 40% of the
town.
Kapsoya Treatment plant has not been receiving water due to aged pipes and
abstractions by the community upstream.
The 59% utilization of Chebara Treatment Plant is as a result of the failure 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 including 48 hour stoppage for the
interconnection in Munyaka.
Wayward
The company is in the process of looking for investors to invest in the
extension of the sewer network through loans and grants.
The company is in the process of importing replacement parts for the screen
indicated in challenge number 3.
Plans are underway to lay a new raw water pipeline from Ellegrini dam to
Kapsoya Treatment Plant through funding from the World Bank.

Way forward
The period under review was a transition one with a lot of challenges for the
county government attributed to the teething problems of any new system.
However, the county weathered all these to post substantial progress in its
development endeavours. For further meaningful progress to be realized the
challenges highlighted in the report need to be addressed. In addition, all
stakeholders need to work together in order that our goals are realized.
