The Kirinyaga government has set aside Sh1.5 billion — equivalent to 37.5 per cent of its annual budget — for development, Finance executive Moses Maina has said. The county also has proposed Sh3 million for renovation of the Kerugoya County Referral Hospital to ensure it offers high quality services. The county will set aside Sh400 million to construct a medical complex in Kerugoya County Hospital to increase bed capacity from 250 to 500. Farmers will also benefit after the county proposed Sh54 million to buy subsidised fertiliser. A further Sh6 million will be set aside to buy seeds for distribution to farmers.
