Recently sworn-in Bomet Governor Dr Hilary Barchok has once again vowed to strictly stick to the ideas and visions of the late Joyce Laboso that she had for Bomet residents.
Speaking during his swearing-in ceremony on Thursday, the county boss also vowed to deliver on the promises that were given by Laboso before their August 8, 2017 election.
He added that he will not be making any changes, but will strive to achieve the intentions of the late Laboso, among them improvements in the health sector as was planned.
“The county will ensure that the 250-bed capacity ultra-modern mother and child wellness centre which was a key flagship project started by Dr Laboso is completed,” he said.
His plans, he said, include eradication of poverty and bettering the agriculture sector. He also promised to address matters roads, education and water.
"Adoption of sound economic policies, eradicating poverty through the adoption of modern farming techniques especially embracing of Artificial Insemination (AI) services to improve dairy livestock and pasture development in a bid to raise milk production to 200 million litres a year and embracing value addition is our key economic pillar,” he added.
Laboso succumbed after a long battle with cancer at the Nairobi Hospital on July 29.
