The Senate Committee on Finance and Budget has praised the Vihiga County Government for what lawmakers described as exemplary management and utilisation of funds under the Financing Locally-Led Climate Action (FLLOCA) programme.
Led by Committee Chairperson Senator Ali Roba, the senators commended Governor Wilberforce Otichillo and his administration for prudent financial management and effective implementation of community-based climate resilience projects across the county.
The committee said Vihiga had emerged as a model county in devolved governance after successfully rolling out high-impact climate adaptation projects even before external financing structures were fully operational.
