The Eldoret municipality was chartered in gazette notice of 6 December 2019 as envisaged in the Urban areas and Cities Act, 2011. According to Kenya Vision 2030 the growth rate of urban centres stands at 4% and the urban population will be 30%of the total population by the year 2030. Urbanization is therefore inevitable, the main challenge being how to cope
with rapid urban growth and how to prepare for the future.

I will do as follows;
