H.E THE GOVERNOR KIRINYAGA COUNTY

J.K NDATHI

However, the County is facing a lot of challenges in implementa�on of projects and programs in the CIDP because of the following reasons:

1. Salaries is taking half of the budget which will leave very few resources for development.

2. The County Government being the pioneer has spent a lot of �me in laying out systems for its efficient and smooth running.

3. Most of the officers are not well capacitated on handling County ma�ers and thus they need a lot of capacity building which will take �me and resources.

4. Some of the County func�ons s�ll need legisla�on by the County Assembly for them to start being implemented eg. Alcohol bill

Because the revenue basket is not enough to implement all these projects and programs in the CIDP, the County Government is expec�ng to mobilise resources from both public and private sectors a�er pu�ng the necessary legisla�ons.
