Counties bloc on course to deliver flagship projects

This is in response to an article titled “Regional bloc faces crisis as summit records poor attendance,” which appeared in the Sunday Standard on January 19.

The article was erroneous and a misrepresentation of proceedings of the 5th Lake Region Economic Bloc, (LREB) summit meeting at Siaya KMTC grounds, from January 14 to 15. The writers allude to the desperation of the LREB technocrats racing against time to revive a dying entity. Secondly, that poor attendance had stalled key discussions which they qualify with presence of uncollected registration tags on the registration table. They also wrongly stated that only nine out of 14 counties had representation at the meeting and this affected discussions on the bloc’s flagship projects. This is quite vexatious to the subjects of the region.
