The Eldoret Municipality has initiated talks with the Uasin
Gishu County Executive over the establishment of a clear transport plan for the
Eldoret town.
The initiative is part of the Eldoret Urban Economic Plan
being jointly developed by the Eldoret Municipality and the Sustainable Urban
Economic Development (SUED) – an organization funded by the United Kingdom (UK)
through the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).
Speaking during a meeting with SUED team, Uasin Gishu County
Physical Planning and Urban Development Chief Officer Kenneth Mbeka said under
the plan, infrastructure and transport development will be given priority.
“Eldoret is a key player in the growth of the economy in Kenya. We are centrally placed as a town that has direct flights to all the cities in the country and currently, international cargo lands here before being transported via road to the rest of the country,” Mbeka said.

“We are in discussions with the county leadership to find
solutions to the congestion of the Central Business District (CBD). This is
where we need to involve SUED in the making of the city’s master plan,” he
added.

city status, it will attract more investors in among other key sectors such as
hotel and tourism industry (hotels, and conference facilities) as well as
