\u201cSome schools do not have ECDE centres, forcing children to learn under\ntrees.This is an acceptable. There is need for the county executive to purchase\nland to put up more centres for hundreds of young learners for schools that\nlack land to put up ECDE centres,\u201d Hon. George Mukodo (Namamali Ward) said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The committee also recommended that the ministry should sensitize the society on the importance of enrolling learners in county polytechnics noting that currently there is low enrollment across the county.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the ministry of Health Services, County Ambulance services has received extra allocation of Shh. 7.2 million due to inflation and also as it is stipulated in the contract between the ministry and the Red Cross Society, which provides the services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some Ksh. 40 million have been allocated to 2,735 Community Health\nVolunteers (CHVs) as stipends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the ministry of Social Services Youth and Sports, the allocation for the\nconstruction of Bukhungu Stadium phase two at a cost of Ksh. 700 million has\nbeen reduced by Ksh. 100 million to fund various programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The committee has recommended that the county treasury should consider\nreallocating some Ksh. 15 million out of the Ksh. 100 million to fund (1) the\ncounty shelter improvement programme at the tune of Ksh. 9 million, (2)\ndevelopment of three county policies on: Children, Youth and Gender at the cost\nof Ksh. 4.6 million and (3) Boda Boda programme at the cost of Ksh. 2 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also recommends that the county executive should concentrate on funding\nof devolved functions, the county treasury should disburse funds to all\nministries as soon as it receives money from the national treasury to\nfacilitate quick implementation of projects in real time and avoid cases of low\nabsorption among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
