𝐂𝐎𝐆 Calls For Suspension of Proposed Markets Development Program
The Council of Governors has called for suspension of the proposed Markets Development Programme by the Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development until the modalities of its implementation are agreed upon between the two levels of government .
In a press statement following a full council meeting chaired by Governor Ann Waiguru in Nairobi, the Governors stated that the development of markets in the country is a fully devolved function under the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution and therefore the programme should be implemented by the respective County Governments through the Conditional Grants framework under the law.
The meeting also highlighted the state of preparedness for the upcoming Devolution Conference 2023 to be hosted in Uasin Gishu County.
The Council further deliberated on the legislative analysis of the proposed County Governments (Amendment) Bill 2023, among other pertinent issues.
