North Eastern residents must stop whining and start winning

Before the advent of devolution, North Eastern had been neglected by successive administrations since independence. Garissa, Wajir and Mandera regions were condemned to decades of underdevelopment and political desertion.

But with devolution, marginalisation is no longer an issue for North Eastern residents. For instance, Mandera received Sh8.9 billion in the 2015/16 financial year, coming third after Turkana and Nairobi counties in fund allocation to the devolved units.
