    "content": "I want to cite an incident I came across in the 1990s while I was working in Kitui as a civil servant. We visited two remote areas called Nuu and another one called Voo during Moi’s days. Incidentally, the people of Nuu and Voo hardly knew Moi but they knew Ndingi Mwana a Nzeki because of the work the NGOs had done in that area of drilling boreholes, a bit of roads and rock catchment where they tap rain water using rocks. The NGOs had really touched the lives of the people to the extent that they thought NGOs were the Government. That is normally repeated almost everywhere in this country; from the remotest parts of this country like parts of Tharaka Nithi County where the footprints of the NGOs are much more than what the Government is sometimes able to do. It shows that the NGOs play a very critical role in bridging the gap between what the Government is able to deliver and what they are not able to do."
