President William Ruto has said Eldoret City will benefit from partnerships and collaborations to make urban towns more liveable, including the Kenya Urban Programme and Kenya Urban Support Programme Phase Two, with a total investment of 1.35 billion US dollars.
According to the head of state, these initiatives focus on investment in waste management, digital connectivity and infrastructure.
Terming the city a melting pot of cultures, Governor Bii has said Eldoret has transformed into a hub for sports, agriculture and healthcare in the North Rift region.
The Governor has at the same time called for a review of the revenue sharing formula to counties, especially due to the unique challenges facing upcoming cities such as Kisumu, Nakuru and Eldoret.
