Kisumu county governor Anyang’ Nyong’o has applauded President Uhuru Kenyatta for recognizing the need to implement the universal healthcare.
According to Nyong’o, the implementation of the universal healthcare was long overdue since he first proposed the idea during his tenure as the country's Minister for Medical Services.
The ODM governor spoke on Thursday during Kisumu County Devolution Dialogue forum at Tom Labour College.
The dialogue is aimed at enhancing result delivery in the lake region.
Nyong’o also used the forum to outline his grandiose plans for the county and his formula of seeing it achieved during his term in office.
The governor further hinted about his Government plans to revamp the maritime transport which was once the regions pride and encouraged the young people to enroll for coxswain courses in order to serve the maritime industry once it starts its operations.
On matters of revenue, the county leader emphasized on the need to generate electronic system of revenue collection in order to avoid losing the money to the pockets of few individuals.
