Isiolo County Governor Mohamed Kuti has to focus on completion of key flagship projects and others that will directly benefit citizens in 2021 with the aim of transforming the county into a safe commercial hub as the main gateway to Northern Kenya.
Among the projects he will target are youth and women empowerment, infrastructure development, health, water, education and tourism. Additionally the governor said he will continue inculcating the culture of social harmony and cohesion.
He said his government in collaboration with Kenya School of Government and other development partners will come up with plans that will see youth and women benefit from projects initiated by the county government to transform their standard of living.
Mandates and priorities
“Our mandates and priorities are quite clear in the manifesto that I launched three years ago towards transforming this county. We will use development projects to liberate the people of Isiolo County from the difficult social-economic situation they find themselves in as the Covid-19 pandemic continues to bite,” said the governor.
Governor Kuti noted that efforts have been put in place to turn around infrastructure development like the one-stop modern market, national standard stadium, construction of county headquarters and the county assembly chamber among others.

“The task ahead is enormous as we usher in the New Year this development agenda will be easily realised when residents, leaders and politicians shun divisive politics and work together. The needs of our people are many, diverse and urgent. With one of the highest poverty levels, insecurity, recurrent droughts and youth unemployment, we are indeed faced with a myriad of challenges,” said Governor Kuti.
“In the last three years, we have made significant progress towards delivering our promises by establishing the core team to drive the county work. We must seize the opportunity to create a lasting foundation for the positive transformation of Isiolo. We owe it to the current and future generations,” he added.
