It is a big yes for the elevation of Eldoret to the status of a city!
The ad-hoc committee tasked with seeking views on whether Eldoret Municipality should be elevated to city status has today given a verdict, a resounding “YES” for a “New City of Champions” with a 93 percent approval rate.
The ad hoc committee under subsection 8(2) of the Urban Areas and Cities Act has determined that the municipality of Eldoret meets the requisite criteria for classification as a city.
Eldoret has been a vibrant and rapidly growing town for many years and with an ever-increasing population, it is now time for us to take the next step and become a city.
Elevating Eldoret will bring many benefits to our community such as attracting new investments and creating job opportunities for our residents. It will also improve the infrastructure in our town, including the roads, public transportation, and public services.
Furthermore, being a city will give us greater visibility and recognition on the national and international stage.
But most importantly, it will give us a greater sense of pride and identity. We will be able to take ownership of our future and build a better, more prosperous community for generations to come.
