Evans Chebet

Evans Kiplagat Chebet (born 10 November 1988)
Kondabilet, Rift Valley Province, Kenya

Sport Athletics
Event(s) Half marathon, Marathon

Chebet grew up the eight of nine children with few financial resources in Kenya – they could only afford to eat two meals a day – and his father, Kipyesang, was an accomplished runner before passing away from cancer at a young age.
on an interview he ones said "As a kid, life wasn’t easy. My father died when I was very young. I can’t remember him. My mom had to move away to find a job, leaving me with my uncle’s family. I’m from a large family and had to leave school early because we could no longer afford it. I started working, making charcoal and taking care of the cattle. "

Nowadays in my free time, I really enjoy going around my farm, supervising the maize and wheat and checking to see my animals are all fine. It is of course a business, but for me it is also a hobby.
In 2022, he became the third man this century to win both the Boston Marathon and New York City Marathon.
In September 2019, after finishing in the top six of every marathon he had finished, Chebet won his first international race, the Buenos Aires Marathon, in a time of 2:05:00. The year after, in March 2020, he won the Lake Biwa Marathon with 2:07:29. In December of the same year, he lowered his personal best by exactly two minutes and set a world lead when he won the 2020 Valencia Marathon in 2:03:00, kicking down Lawrence Cherono and winning by four seconds.

Chebet successfully defended his title at the 2023 Boston Marathon for his third consecutive World Marathon Major victory in a row.[4] He finished third at the 2016 Berlin Marathon.

The Urban Areas and Cities Act provides criteria for classifying cities as opposed to the traditional political ‘rewards’ to upgrade urban areas in return for votes in General Elections.
The Urban Areas and Cities Act seeks to give effect to Article 184 of the Constitution which provides for the, classification, governance and management of urban areas and cities.
Other objectives are to provide for the criteria of establishing urban areas, principle of governance and participation of residents and for connected purposes.
Before classification as a a town has to meet

They must also have integrated development plans and demonstrate capacity to generate sufficient revenue to sustain operations.
Other requirements include a demonstrable good system and records of prudent management and capacity to effectively and efficiently deliver essential services to residents.
The urban areas must also have populations of at least 500,000 residents as per the final gazetted results of the last population census. eldoret have atleast 193830

There should also be institutionalised active participation by residents in the management of affairs.
Before conferment by the President, the board of a municipality may pass a resolution and apply to the county executive committee for consideration.

If the county executive committee approves the application, the Governor must constitute a committee to consider the proposal and advise.
The committee comprises of relevant professionals in good standing nominated by the Institution of Surveyors of Kenya, Kenya Institute of Planners and Law Society of Kenya.

Others are the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya, business community and an association of urban areas and cities.

Legally, when the committee concurs that the municipality meets the criteria for classification as a city, the governor submits the recommendation to the county assembly for approval.

If approved, the clerk of the county assembly will be required to forward the resolution to the Senate for consideration.

Senate Approval

Lastly, when the Senate approves the recommendation, the clerk should send the resolution to the President for conferment of city status. For participation of residents in the management of cities, the Act provides for citizen fora which empower them to deliberate and make proposals on provision of services.

They can also participate in proposing issues for inclusion in policies and legislation, annual budget estimates of the county and national budget.

Nevertheless, even as the Urban Areas and Cities Act provides for the process of conferment of city status, not many towns will live up to expectations, if history is anything to go by.

Even after fulfilling the requirements, the President may on resolution of the Senate confer city status.

My big Question is are we ready as a nation to have another city ?
Are we running too fast as a nation on upgrading towns to cities ?

Remember we still have a young city
Nakuru city which i think is yet to get to peoples mind as a city

Eldoret removed a controversial statue resembling Faith Kipyegon overnight due to public criticism, ahead of its elevation to city status.
Kenyans on social media put the Uasin Gishu county government on the spot over a statue unveiled in Eldoret
The statue of a female athlete holding the Kenyan flag was erected to celebrate the attainment of city status
Alleged Faith Kipyegon statue
An uproar erupted in Eldoret after the Uasin Gishu county unveiled several thematic monuments as part of beautification to welcome the city's status for the town.

The uproar erupted especially through social media after the monuments were unveiled only for residents to question the workmanship of the sculptors.

Sources said a top government official was angered by the monuments and ordered that they either be uprooted or replaced.
CEO of the Eldoret Municipal Board Tito Koiyet could not be reached for comment immediately.
Pictures of the monuments went around on social media sparking an uproar and backlash against the county administration and the Eldoret Municipal Board.

Another monument of a green maize crop had been erected on the Telecom roundabout but it was also pulled down because it reportedly bore the image of a discoloured maize cob.

Following the uproar, it has been uprooted and replaced with one that looks green.

Firms contracted to put up the monuments are currently on site uprooting them ahead of President Ruto's event to hand over the city charter to Governor Jonathan Bii.

The majority of residents said they had been taken aback by the work done on the monuments which have been erected at several strategic roundabouts in the town's CBD.

One of the monuments erected at the Fims junction was that of an athlete whose resemblance could not be identified yet the town has hundreds of well-known veteran and current record-breaking athletes.
Residents led by Kipkorir Birgen said in an online post that, “these are monuments of shame and the county could have done better.”

Birgen said the monuments do not reflect the city’s newfound status.
