RONGAI CONSTITUENCY Message from the Member of Parliament It gives me great pleasure to endorse this strategic plan, the first ever, for Rongai Constituency. Guided by the vision an empowered constituency that effectively and efficiently manages all its rich resources for improved Standards of Living, we are committing ourselves to a five year period of commitment to development. The process of developing this plan has been very consultative which makes it accurate, risk averse, inclusive and widely owned. It is in line with the Kenya Vision 2030. Thus, it has set the pace for future participatory engagement in projects identification, implementation, monitoring and evaluation and in line with the national policy documents. The resources directed to this constituency must of necessity be used in a way that is transparent and accountable. People need to be involved in the management of their affairs and thus I will ensure that there is participation at all levels possible in implementation of this plan. A key area of this achievement will involve attitude change. It’s been noted by various constituents that the main obstacle that stands between where we are and where we should be is the attitude that we have towards work, lack of water for both irrigation and household use, education for children and working through cooperatives and farmers’ associations. As a key step away from this attitude we will be encouraging all constituents both men and women to engage together in productive work for improved outputs. I urge leaders at all levels to set this example by word and deed.The office of the Member of Parliament will give leadership in this work and see to it that the wellbeing of all constituents is enhanced. I appeal to all development agents to work together for greater impact in this constituency and make Modern Rongai Constituency, a reality by the year 2017! Hon. Luka Kigen. MP.
