The County Government of Uasin Gishu is poised to benefit from the Kenya Informal Settlements Improvement Project (KISIP) Slum Upgrading Programme. This initiative aims to enhance the living conditions in informal settlements across the county.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Janet Kosgey, the County Executive Committee member for Lands, Physical Planning, Housing, and Urban Development, highlighted that the programme will target settlements such as Langas, Ngomongo, Kamukunji, Burnt Forest, Turbo Township, Cheboiywo, and Moi’s Bridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“These informal settlements each present unique characteristics and challenges,” Dr. Kosgey remarked. “By focusing on infrastructure upgrades and improving living conditions through community engagement, we will create a better environment for the residents.”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The team emphasized the need to first identify specific requirements and devise effective strategies for each settlement. This approach aims to provide valuable insights for enhancing current conditions and preventing new slum formations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chief Officer of Housing and Urban Development, Mr. Julius Koech, identified urgent areas for intervention including road infrastructure, water supply, waste management, sanitation, and housing quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
