Huruma Ward residents in Uasin Gishu County have decried an increase in the rate of insecurity that has forced the business community to close their businesses early for fear of robbery.
Harun Main an opinion Leader in Huruma ward says in the recent past bodaboda operators have been robbed of their motorbikes and houses broken into,
“We are urging the Security officers to heighten security within Huruma ward and Especially at Mwenderi area that has largely been affected by the state of Insecurity, We also plead with our Governor(Jonathan Bii) to look into the issues of street lighting “Said Maina.
John kamau Another resident of Huruma ward complained that their Area member of County Assembly Kimani Wanjohi was unbothered to address the pressing security challenges affecting his electorates,
“We have informed him that the street lights especially along Mwenderi are no longer operational including the high mast lights ,it’s been the fourth day he has not replied to our plea nor addressed the challenges that is why we are pleading with governor Jonathan Bii,”He Said.
The Residents have also called upon the Governor to address issues of poor service delivery at the Huruma Sub County Hospital , with many of the patients now forced to seek laboratory services in nearby clinics that are said to be owned by some of the Hospital Staffs,
“We thank the Governor for having flagged off medical supplies worth Ksh67M however we urge him to monitor and take action against some medical staffs who are using dubious means at the Huruma Sub County Hospital to deny residents quality service delivery by sending them to nearby clinics for services that can be availed at the Facility” Said Maina.
The Uasin Gishu County Government has committed to improve service delivery to its residents as it prepares The Eldoret City Status recognition.
