The County Government of Kakamega has inked a Sh1.2 billion deal with the United States Agency for International Development (USAid) for funding of HIV/Aids programmes.
Governor Wycliffe Oparanya said the deal would benefit more than 47,000 HIV/Aids patients in 12 sub-counties.
The memorandum of understanding was signed on Monday, and will see his administration receive Sh240 million towards the initiative annually for five years.
