The Department of Economic Planning on Monday kicked off a Monitoring and Evaluation Exercise, aimed at assessing the effectiveness of ongoing and completed county projects, reflecting the country’s commitment to ensuring transparency and enhancing the execution of essential community services in line with Governor Dr. Bii’s “Nguzo Kumi” agenda, which focuses on sustainable development and community upliftment.

The Exercise in Kapseret Sub-County, led by Director Communication Mr. Emmanuel Kipchumba, County Internal Auditor Lizzy Lelei, and Economic Planning Officers Wycliffe Kimaru and Stella Kiptum, aims to enhance the execution and financial oversight of essential community projects.

The team conducted field visits to several projects, including the Njabini B road, Langas-Mureithi mahugu connecting St. Mary’s Catholic Church to Yamumbi, Njabini C road which connects the Yamumbi Police Station to the Kamunu area.

Additional projects inspected included Salvation Army-Full Gospel Road A and B and the Full Gospel Road to Greenpark Road. Three 9-meter-long culverts have already been installed along the Njabini C road, improving connectivity and drainage in the area.

Assessment of vital water projects such as the Kaptagat and Gathini water initiatives also formed part of the team’s agenda.

These projects are crucial in supporting sustainable water provision for both irrigation and household use, which aligns with Governor Bii’s strategic priorities.

During the evaluations, the monitoring team noted substantial progress and the results of this exercise are expected to be instrumental in shaping future funding decisions and the implementation of upcoming projects, ensuring that community interests and needs take center stage in development initiatives.
