The County Government of Trans Nzoia has received movable assets to help enhance service delivery.
The multimillion assets received from the Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee (IGRTC) comprised of cars, Lorries, graders, and motorcycles, which originally belonged to national government departments, but were devolved.
Governor George Natembeya said the assets received will play a monumental role in hastening the completion of development projects.
Thus, the availability of these assets will enhance counties’ ability to complete development projects within set timelines, allowing the public to fully appreciate the value of their investment.
Liaising with relevant government organs, the Governor said the county will institute strategies to enable the change of number plates for vehicles with GK ones to county number plates.
Meanwhile, he revealed that plans are underway to ensure a proper registry of county government assets is developed, a move meant to ensure that none is stolen.
IGRTC Representative John Kimwela revealed that the estimated value of all the assets being transferred to counties was Sh3 billion.
Hence, “From the valuations IGRTC has been undertaking of all movable assets acquired from defunct local authorities and devolved departments, the approximate value is Sh3 billion,” he said.
Others present during the handover ceremony included Trans Nzoia County Commissioner Gideon Oyagi, County Secretary Truphosa Amere, and County Attorney Walioli Wabwoba.
