The block was constructed in phases at a cost of 175 million shillings under a co funding arrangement where the Sub County contributed 106 Million shillings while the sub County contributed 69 million shillings.
While delivering CAO's message the principal Assistant Secretary (PAS) encouraged the Sub County leadership to secure more land around the Sub County quarters for future expansion before land prices appreciate in the area.
The RDC, called upon the sub county leadership to put the facility into the right use and protect it against abuse.He highlighted challenges of service delivery linking them to inadequate staff and equipment and appealed to the district leadership to work within their means to fix those they can handle at their level. He asked the community members to embrace government programmes and improve lives.
