The publication of Siaya County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) is an epoch of a newbeginning. This Plan outlines the programs and projects that the Siaya County Government iscommitted to implement during the period 2013 2017. Indeed the CIDP has taken on boardmany recommendations from party manifestoes, elected leaders, Kenya Vision 2030, the UnitedNations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), policy documents, the academia, not-for profit organizations, members of the public and other stakeholders.The preparation of this Plan has been anchored on the Constitution of Kenya, 2010; the CountyGovernments Act, 2012; and the Public Finance Management Act, 2012. Critically, peoplesparticipation has been instrumental in situation analysis, project identification and prioritization.The Plan therefore, reflects the aspirations of the people of Siaya. The programs and projectsare geared towards opening the County through improvement of the road network, increasedtrade; improved food security, enhanced quality of healthcare; and further decentralization ofservices to the people up to the village level amongst others. The ultimate goal of the Plan is todrastically reduce the number of people falling under the poverty bracket in the County by 2017.The implementation of this Plan will require enormous resources. This calls for a concertedeffort from various players including: the Executive, the Legislature, National Government,Development partners, not-for-profit organizations; the diaspora and the public in general.I therefore call upon all the stakeholders to patriotically play their part in the implementation ofthis plan, so as to improve the living standards of people of Siaya County. The countygovernment of Siaya on her part as reflected in her motto of Service and Development iscommitted to coordinating all branches of government in the provision of a conduciveenvironment for effective and efficient public service delivery
