The rationale for giving some ministries a lot of money while starving others, which are more crucial in building our economy, is baffling.
Which specific projects were catered for in the Devolution ministry? If it is dams, I thought water is a devolved function.
In the current circus, before we talk about austerity measures, we should first devolve all the functions as stipulated in the Constitution for instance water, agriculture, health and leave little with the Government for ‘cartels’.
It is easier to control corruption in the counties because with time, people will be baying for the blood of executives and county assembly members by questioning all illegal expenditure.
I would have thought giving more money to the Agriculture, Health and Education ministries would make more sense than giving huge amounts to the Devolution ministry.
