Deputy Speaker: Honourable Jonathan Ngetich. STATEMENT POLICY FRAMEWORK FOR INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME (Hon Jonathan Ngetich, on behalf of Pius Kigen, chair Public Service Management Committee) Hon Ngetich: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir, for giving me this opportunity to read this statement on behalf of Honourable Pius Kigen, Chairperson, Public Service Management. Hon. Speaker Sir, aware that following a pledge made by His Excellency the Governor sometime in June, 2017 that his Administration would roll out internship programmes to assist graduates within the county attain experience and at the same time earn a stipend, the County Public Service Board advertised for the positions inviting qualified applicants to apply. Mr. Speaker Sir, further aware that the advertisement for the positions stated that the applicants must have graduated not earlier than 2015 and applications closed on 20th March, 2018. Hon. Speaker Sir , there has been an uproar from Members of the public as to why the County Public Service Board is discriminating graduates who graduated earlier than 2015, have not been in any form of gainful employment and have not attained the age of 35 years. Secondly, Honourable Speaker Sir, this honourable House has not received any policy framework form the department of public service management on how the internship programme will be managed. Mr. Speaker Sir, this is a programme costing the County Government of Uasin Gishu over sh100, 000, 000 every year in payment of stipends. Where is our oversight role, Mr. Speaker Sir, if we allow such a huge amount of money to be spent without a policy framework? Mr. Speaker Sir, only God knows what kind of audit queries can arise from such unregulated expenditure. Also Mr. Speaker Sir , without a policy framework, how will this Honourable House be informed on the criteria for recruitment for example at Ward /Location /Village level? How will we ensure that there is regional/gender and also that special interest groups are considered? Disclaimer: The electronic version of the Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, with authority of the Clerk, Uasin Gishu County Assembly. Mr. Speaker Sir, who will pay for insurance for the interns? Who will manage them in instances of disciplinary cases? What areas of specialization are the interns going to concentrate on and where exactly are all these positions? Are they within the County only? Mr. Speaker, a Sir a policy framework should address all these issues and be scrutinized by this Honourable House before approval. Further, Mr. Speaker Sir, I submit that any form of short listing that could be ongoing to be immediately halted until the discrimination clause is cured and all graduates are given an equal opportunity to apply. Mr. Speaker Sir, the discrimination on the newspaper advertisement was so conspicuous on the face of the advertisement. Mr. Speaker Sir, I seek a comprehensive statement from the Chairperson on the committee on Public Service Management on the issues raised. Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir Deputy Speaker: Thank you, Honourable Jonathan Ngetich. I want to get from you whether you are standing in for Chair person and you are asking the Chair person to answer the same . Hon Ngetich: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In this case, we want to inquire from the Chair, Public Service Board. I think there was a typographical error but in any case, Mr. Speaker, I can as well be the one who has moved the statement so that the Chair person Public Service And Management can liaise with the Chairman , Public Service Board . Deputy Speaker: Thank you for that clarification. Honourable Members, given that this is a pertinent issue, Honourable Members, it is allowed by our standing Order maybe to allow Members to deliberate and I will give you, Honourable Members, the next 10 minutes before we proceed to the other business of the day. Honourable Chief Whip. Hon Singoei: Thank you, Honourable Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to make contributions toward the statement that was read by Honourable Jonathan either on his behalf or on that of the Chairman Public Service Committee .what has been raised is very pertinent and it is important that we all discuss it at length. Honourable Speaker, there are issues that have been said because, one, we really did not know the procedure or the criteria on which these people are going to be given the positions given that Uasin Gishu is vast county, with different communities, with different backgrounds and more so is what has been addressed by the statement: the issue of discrimination based on the year in which you actually graduated. What are we telling those who graduated later or earlier than 2015, for example? We still have children who graduated in the year 2010, 2009, 2011 2012 and 2013. Why the discrimination and I think that is the issue that we must be dealt with by way of introducing a clear policy so that that the policy addresses all those issues. Honourable Speaker, I have been around some offices and you will be shocked that people are circulating names. I don’t know if Members are aware of that. People are circulating names and saying, ‘bring names from this Ward or bring names from here.’ I don’t want to mention any names but I think it is worth stopping this exercise for a while so that these issues can be actually addressed. I got somebody asking me if I could give two names from my Ward and I was shocked what is this what is going on. I thought this is going to be transparent; it is going Disclaimer: The electronic version of the Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, with authority of the Clerk, Uasin Gishu County Assembly. to be open and it is for the children of Uasin Gishu and not just for few individuals getting names from wherever. Even the exercise, Honourable Speaker - because I am one person who believes in speaking the truth and say it the way it is - even the exercise is just for cosmetic; it is just for public to know that we have advertised and we are going to do short listing. The exercise is actually full of rot, if I may speak because the names that have applied have just applied for the sake of it but people have names from different offices, getting names from relatives, getting names from wherever which, I think, if we want to help the people of Uasin Gishu let us be very transparent; let us be fair even for once - let us be fair.

    Journal of Applied Sciences, Engineering and Technology for Development JASETD, Volume 2, Issue 1, 2017 Research article ISSN 2309-0936 LOCAL COMMUNITY PERCEPTIONS OF THE CAUSES AND IMPACTS OF DEFORESTATION OF KAPTAGAT FOREST, UASIN GISHU COUNTY Njeru*, J.M., & Bett, S. J. Department of Environmental Studies, Chuka University, P. O Box 109-60401, Chuka Received January 2017; Revised March 2017; Accepted June 2017 ABSTRACT Understanding the local community perceptions and attitudes towards natural resource conservation is recognised a useful step in identifying strategies of involving community members in conservation programmes. The main aim of the current study was to determine the local community perception of the causes and effects of the deforestation of Kaptagat Forest. Descriptive research design was used to determine the causes of deforestation, extent of deforestation, the socio economic impacts, and the measures that have been put in place to control and stop further deforestation. Systematic random sampling was used to administer questionnaires to the target population and results analysed using chi-square tests. The results showed that the respondents differed significantly on the causes of deforestation. of Kaptagat.. Apparently illegal logging, charcoal burning and firewood were identified as the most important drivers of deforestation. Majority of the respondents felt that the forest has been highly deforested. The majority felt that reduction in water volumes in streams, changes in rainfall patterns, increased soil erosion and siltation were making the community worse off socio- economically. Furthermore, the community felt that there was a strong relationship between the level of poverty and the level of deforestation of Kaptagat Forest, thus revealing an understanding of the tripartite relationship between development, environment and conservation of the forest.

  • Eldoret Water Supply and Sewerage Services
    Inclusive Cities Observatory « IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMMERCIALIZATION POLICY WITH SOCIAL INCLUSION AND SERVICE IMPROVEMENT GOALS » Eldoret, Kenya Period of implementation: 1997 - 1999 | Study case written in 2010 aced with Inadequate maintenance of the water infrastructures and corruption in the sector, as well as the implementation of Structural Adjustment Programs during the 1980s and 1990s, the FKenyan Government privatized public water services. The results proved unacceptable, especially with regard to expanding provision for lower-income groups. With the completion of the Water Act of 2002, which provided for the decentralization of powers from the national to the regional and local level, individual municipalities, such as Eldoret, took the initiative to form companies to undertake water supply. The Eldoret Water and Sanitation Company (ELDOWAS) was incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Eldoret Municipal Council in 1997. The Water Act requests consultation on a number of provisions and regulations, and a culture of public consultation and active stakeholder engagement is gradually being built. The Inclusive Cities Observatory was launched in 2008 by the UCLG Committee on Social Inclusion, Participatory Democracy and Human Rights with the aim of creating a space for analysis and reflection on local social inclusion policies. The initiative was developed with the scientific support of Professor Yves Cabannes (University College of London) and the Centre for Social Studies (CES) from the University of Coimbra. At present, the Observatory contains more than sixty study cases mostly developed between 2008 and 2010. Even though many of these cases refer to policies that have already come to an end, they still have much to offer: from capitalizing on the learning acquired by other local authorities to discovering suggestive and alternative means to address social inclusion challenges from a local perspective.

  • UASIN GISHU DISTRICT ENVIRONMENT ACTION PLAN 20091 -2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Economic Growth and Environment Are Closely Intertwined in Kenya’S Development
    REPUBLIC OF KENYA MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT AND MINERAL RESOURCES UASIN GISHU DISTRICT ENVIRONMENT ACTION PLAN 20091 -2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Economic growth and environment are closely intertwined in Kenya’s development. Environmental Action Planning is a tool that aims at enhancing the integration of environment into development planning. UasinGishu District faces many environmental challenges with some being unique to the District. Poverty has lead to the over-use and destruction of environment. Continued reliance on trees for fuel and wetlands for farming and its resources has lead to deforestation and wetland encroachment. Annual flooding continues to destroy property and frustrate farming. The DEAP highlights priority themes and activities for the District towards achieving sustainable development. The report is divided into eight chapters. Chapter one gives the challenges of sustainable development and also describes the rationale for and preparatory process of the DEAP. The chapter introduces the district’s main profile covering the physical features, demographic, agro-ecological zones, and main environmental issues. Chapter two describes the District’s Environment and Natural resources of Land, Water, Biodiversity (forest, wildlife, and Dry lands biodiversity), wetlands and agriculture, livestock and fisheries. For each resource, major environmental issues, challenges and proposed interventions are identified. Chapter three discusses the Human settlements and infrastructure in UasinGishu District covering situation analysis, challenges and proposed interventions. Environmental challenges addressed include; waste management, sanitation, pollution, diseases, land use, demand for water, energy, materials for construction, land and wetlands degradation, policy and legislation, biodiversity loss and land tenure. Chapter four addresses environmental aspects in tourism, trade, industry and services sectors. The key issues under this chapter are high pollution levels from industrial activities and weak enforcement of relevant legislations.
