As debate rages on how devolution money has been spent by North Eastern region Governors, three elders have petitioned Garissa Governor Nathif Jama over extreme water shortage, saying devolved units have never initiated any project in their locations.

The elders, Mohamud Hajir, Haret Nasteh Noor and Mohamed Dahir Ahmed from Korisa location wrote to Garissa Governor and his County executive Committee member in charge of water, asking for immediate intervention.
