Elected and nominated Councillors, Local Government Officials, local community and stakeholder groups are ALL responsible for monitoring proper budget execution and accountability.

I take this opportunity to congratulate the Municipal Council of Eldoret following the launch of its interactive Website www.eldoretmunicipal.go.ke – which will ensure active citizen participation that can generate the level and quality of services and governance – needed for sustained socio-economic development and wealth creation.

The Council Website, which will assist in providing information and services online reflects the benchmark on quality, integrity and value proposition levels that the Municipal Council of Eldoret has set for itself to meet and indeed exceed residents and stakeholders expectations.

This educative Website contains accurate and timely information with facts, figures, testimonies and pictorials on the Municipal Budget, LATF and LASDAP projects, which will enable the Council to improve service delivery, financial management and accountability and reduce debts.

The Municipal Website is linked to other ongoing local level reforms related to planning, budgeting and financial management, participatory planning, monitoring and evaluation.

I also take this opportunity to commend the Municipal Council of Eldoret for their commitment and hard work and for generating important local level information, in order to improve local responsiveness, efficiency and accountability.
