    "content": "This is very sad and that is why I raise it here. Fourteen of the counties that suffer drought cumulatively received Khs160 billion in the last three budgets in the last three years. These counties include Samburu, Turkana, Marsabit, Garissa, Wajir, Mandera and Kitui. They received Kshs160 billion. Why we asked for a devolved system of government was to manage the resources. We expected our county governments to invest heavily in water and health. We expected them to build more boreholes. We thought that with the advent of devolution, the first priority of a county government in the ASAL areas would be water for our people and for our livestock. I am not just raising figures. My county receives Kshs7.5 billion. Wajir County receives Kshs8.5 billion while Mandera County received over Kshs10 billion. The North Eastern region receives Kshs30 billion. It is morally wrong for a governor to stand in front of a camera and ask where the national Government is."
