I must admit that it has been a long learning curve for all Counties
in the past four and a half years of devolved governance. We had
to begin from scratch and institutionalize requisite governance
systems for service delivery.
Our journey since March 2013 when we assumed office has been
that of growth and institutionalization. Looking back, I am proud to
note that we have chalked up successes while implementing
devolved functions as set out in the Fourth Schedule of the
Constitution of Kenya, 2010.
For the first time since independence, our people can access
modern diagnostic services including Computerized Tomography
(CT) scan, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and digital x-rays.
The fourth pledge I made was on the area of Physical Planning and
Urban Development. Through the integrated street lighting
program launched by the County, Kisii Town and other urban
centres have grown into a 24-hour economy.
We have also opened back street roads in Kisii Town and in major
urban centres.
Within four and a half years, the number of commercial banks has
increased from 13 when we assumed office to 22 currently. Equally,
the number of insurance firms and tertiary institutions has increased
tremendously pointing to an environment conducive to investment
in Kisii.
Further, I recently signed into law the Kisii County Youth and Women
Empowerment Fund Act, 2016 that provides the legal framework for
the County to support this critical group through affordable credit.
It will take a while longer to list all our achievements, but on this day,
let me focus on other issues that affect us. We celebrate this
Madaraka Day on the peak of a political period in the Country
when Kenyans prepare to exercise their constitutional right of
electing leaders for the next term.
