Debate on Underdevelopment and Absentee Governors Sparks Public Wrath

A statement by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has sparked a debate on the underdevelopment of Kenya's North Eastern region, leading to a division among the political class. The discussion has drawn in residents, professionals, and intellectuals from the area who are actively contributing. In a related issue, residents in Turkana and Nandi counties are experiencing severe service delivery problems due to the frequent absenteeism of their governors and other senior county officials. This situation has caused projects to stall, such as the Sh150 million Nandi county government offices in Kapsabet. That project has remained incomplete for over seven years.
