    "content": "I disagree with one of the parameters which has been used to allocate resources here which is land mass. There is no difference between land mass and population. If you go to these counties that are expansive, you will realise that large populations are found within the towns but not in the deserted land mass areas. Therefore, if we will consider population as a parameter for allocation of resources, then we need to do away with land mass. I have not seen any county government that has land in place to access that large mass where nothing is going on. A good example is Marsabit County which is one of the most expansive counties. If you walk there, you find that people reside in small towns and the larger areas are empty. Why do we allocate resources to empty expansive land where no one resides? I know that this is a very important issue for debate for my colleagues who come from the North Eastern region. If we will use population as a parameter, then I do not think it is important for us to use land mass because we are allocating resources to empty lands. What are those resources rewarding us for?"
