Uasin-Gishu residents have been challenged to be in the forefront playing the oversight role and demand for service delivery in their county.
The Commission for Revenue Allocation (CRA) chairman Micah Cheserem said the residents have the right to inquire and know how their money is spent.
“As residents, you have a right to inquire how your money is spent. If you see suspicious procurements like costly wheelbarrows you should ask how they are purchased,” said Cheserem.
The former Central Bank governor thanked the county for its transparent procurement of road constructions machines that has played a key role in road construction.
“Many counties always do fishy procurement that you fail to understand after we have allocated them money. For Uasin-Gishu, I’m happy with the way they do their procurement,” he added.
However, the chairman urged the residents to embrace devolution claiming that the process will enable them get more services dispelling the move by some legislators to return back some services to central government.
Cheserem who was speaking in Tuiyoluk, Moiben Sub-County, applauded the Uasin-Gishu county government leadership for its cohesive existence that has enabled the smooth running of services.
