Uhuru lures Turkana region, stages robust campaign

Turkana may have voted for CORD in the 2013 elections, but that has not stopped President Uhuru Kenyatta to stage a robust campaign to claim the lions share in its votes ahead of the August 8 General Elections.

Ever since Kenya gained independence in 1964, the region has always been shunned by successive governments until 2013 when the Jubilee administration took over. The change in fortune is evident and measurable looking at the Sh50 billion Turkana County received over the last four years under the devolution agenda and what it has done to turn around the region, as well as more billions in investments by the national government that have significantly improved the lives of the pastoral community.
