Governor Jonathan Bii signs a transformative MoU with SNV to boost Uasin Gishus agriculture and youth employment, backing his Nguzo Kumi agenda with international support.

Uasin Gishu Governor Jonathan Bii, popularly known as "Koti Moja," has scored a major diplomatic and economic coup by signing a sweeping Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Netherlands Development Organisation (SNV). The deal, inked at the county headquarters in Eldoret, is set to inject millions into the region’s agrarian economy, directly feeding into the Governor’s "Nguzo Kumi" development blueprint.
The partnership formalizes a relationship that has existed for over two decades but now shifts gears towards high-impact, scalable interventions. SNV Country Director Rebecca Hallam, who flew in for the signing, described Uasin Gishu as a "model partner" for sustainable development in East Africa.
The MoU is not just paperwork; it is a funded mandate targeting three critical pillars essential for the county’s future:
“We are moving from subsistence to commercial sustainability,” Governor Bii declared. “This partnership ensures that our farmers get the technology they need to feed the nation while putting money in their pockets.”
For a county that views itself as Kenya’s breadbasket, this deal is a timely fertilizer for growth. It signals that devolution is maturing, with counties now bypassing national bureaucracy to secure direct international funding for their people.
