Saney: Yes, county governments need scrutiny

Pastoralists in the arid and semi-arid part of Kenya live in a hardship environment where survival for the fittest defines a fierce competition for scarce resources. In the past, they practiced nomadic pastoralism, but with climate change and modernism, nomadism mutated to sedentary pastoralism.

This consolidated conflicts arising from pasture, water and competition for commercial interests. Therefore, fair distribution of resources to wards, award of tenders and other opportunities will determine the stability of pastoral county governments.
