Post by: gout on October 25, 2014, 12:42:51 PM

governors in this stretch would go very far if they consulted KVDA..this Kimosop guy seems very practical and hands on

if Nanok bugger consulted KVDA he wont have to return cash to Treasury ..

Most Counties lack qualified staff and by that cannot increase their funds absorption capacity. With more fund envisaged, such counties need to hire qualified staff and like you suggest link up with already existing centres of knowledge.

However the role of some of these QUANGOs like KVDA, LBDA etc would have to be reviewed. This should come at the same time as we review the future ownership of HEP stations and other common resources such as Oil.

Turkana is a rich county after all. It has the resources which need to be tapped. A massive water well, oil etc. Kenya can indeed be food secure and even have a surplus for export.
