Most counties in the Rift Valley region experienced delays in project implementation this year because of funding hitches from the Treasury. Governors from the region are working overtime to complete projects lined up for the 2019-20 financial year within the six months starting January. The county bosses have called on the Treasury to expedite the release of funds to the counties because delayed funding was undermining devolution. Uasin Gishu Governor Jackson Mandago is among those making efforts to complete projects he has initiated before the end of his second term. Elgeyo Marakwet also faced delayed funding from the Treasury but Governor Alex Tolgos says their main problem has been low allocation.
