Abstract

However the county has experienced some positive strides in development including 100 early childhood centres, numerous water projects and improved production in Agriculture through provision of free seedlings, improvement of quality livestock breeds among others. The challenges drawn from the implementation of CIDP has being among others; slow procurement process, delays in disbursement of funds and integration of personnel devolved from the national government and those of the county. The preparation of this annual development plan is against the back drop of enhanced effort to improve the county’s absorption rate of development in order to achieve the desired results of the CIDP. Since the inception of the county government, the county government has received a total of KSH 8,221,497,028.00
