What you need to know:

  • In Uasin Gishu County, Governor Jackson Mandago has maintained that he will complete all projects he initiated as he eyes the Senate seat.
  • In Elgeyo Marakwet County, Governor Alex Tolgos faces an uphill task after the County Assembly rejected construction of the Sh56 million governor’s official residence.

Second-term governors in the North Rift region are racing against time to complete multimillion-shilling projects as part of their legacy, with less than one year to the general election.

The administrators, who are serving their last term, want to compete projects they started, to leave clean sheets for their successors as they either eye other elective positions or take up different roles after the 2022 polls.
