Abstract: Projects can fail for a variety of reasons, which present themselves in different ways and at different stages of the project. A huge number of health initiatives launched by the Turkana County government are facing significant scheduling and financial management issues. As a result, the project takes longer than expected, increasing the associated expenditures. Furthermore, the projected benefits are only partially or never achieved as a result of a variety of poor project implementations. Therefore, this study sought to investigate the influence of project leadership on project implementation by ministry of health and sanitation services in Turkana County, Kenya. The descriptive research design was adopted in the study. The study's target population consisted of ten health initiatives run by the Ministry of Health and Sanitation in Turkana County, Kenya. There were 55 responders, including 5 project managers and 40 project team members. Because the population is small, the study relied on a census of 55 people. Structured questionnaires were used to obtain primary data for the investigation. Six respondents participated in a pilot research conducted by the Ministry of Public Works in Turkana County. The content validity test was used to assess the validity of research instruments. Cronbach's alpha was utilized to calculate a correlation coefficient to evaluate the research instrument's internal consistency. To evaluate quantitative data, descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation were used. The study also used inferential statistics, such as multiple regression analysis. According to the findings of the study, project leadership had a positive and significant impact on the project implementation by the Ministry of Health and Sanitation Services in Turkana County, Kenya. The study finds that project leadership is a social influence process focused on maximizing a team's efforts to attain a goal. According to the study, in order to ensure project success, the leader's approach should be adaptable, collaborative, and innovative.
