Achievements
Nandi County now produces approximately 120,000,000 litres of milk annually translating to billions of shillings in income to our farmers. This is after the County Government embarked on provision of acaricides to 200 cattle dips as a way of putting tick-borne diseases at bay and employing 40 dip supervisors to assist in management of cattle dips as a way of professionalizing the management of these crucial facilities in animal keeping. The county government has successfully implemented the first phase of routine road maintenance targeting 450 km; 15 km in each ward and additional 276.2.km that were subjected to a competitive tender. The whole undertaking involved culvert installation, murraming, graveling, unblocking of drainage and heavy bush clearing. The setting of a public university in the County dubbed as Koitalel Arap Samoei University is now at an advance stage.[1]
Controversies
There were reports by sections of the Kenyan mass media that the county government tortured civil society groups in an aborted demonstration against its leadership.[2]
There were also reported protests against the leadership of the County Government of Nandi in February 2015.[3] In Nandi, some contractors marched to the governor's office, protesting that they had been denied an opportunity to do business with the county
