Completion of county funded construction projects in Kitale town, Trans Nzoia County records dissatisfying views on the schedule performance of most of the projects. The study investigated how funding activities influence completion of county funded construction projects in Kitale town, Trans Nzoia County. This study is grounded on Goal-setting theory. The study adopted a descriptive survey research. The target population for this study comprised of 508; County Administrators and Project managers who are responsible for Bus Park, stadium and hospital construction and Beneficiaries of the projects and the sample size were 223 respondents.

Data from questionnaire were coded and logged in the computer using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS V 20.0). Content analysis were used for the qualitative data and then presented in prose. Quantitative data was analyzed using simple linear regression model to establish the relationship between the variables. The study findings based on funding activities objective showed that 87.36% (mean=4.37, Std. Dev=0.899) of the respondents accepted funding for the construction projects are delayed because most of the county budgetary allocated money are delayed from the national government, poor management of resources by the managers in charge, prioritizing salaries paid to workers and failing to give similar weight to the construction of projects and also, some contractors may lack enough money to facilitate the completion of the projects. Inferentially, funding activities attributed to (β=.227 p<0.036) on completion of county projects thus a unit increase in funding activities improved completion of the county funded construction projects by 22.7%. The study concluded that poor funding schemes delayed completion of construction projects. Project may be delayed or be unsuccessfully completed; when flow of funds to a project is not steady then there were on and off activities on site, resulting into contract delay. The study recommends to the members of the county assembly to pass proposed bills that are viable and fruitful to the development of the county. Project completion time should be checked to ensure efficiency.
