The newly elevated Gilgil and Molo municipalities will benefit from Sh200 million funding for addressing issues of housing and sewerage, among other services, in the next financial year.

According to Nakuru County government, the money will come from the Kenya Urban Support Programme and the Kenya Urban Rural Authority, which finance such infrastructure in the elevated urban centres.
