Northern Kenya lawmakers have claimed that there is nothing to show in the region since independence despite the counties having been allocated of billions of shillings since the advent of devolution.

Garissa, Mandera, Wajir, Isiolo and Marsabit counties have received funds which if they could have been put to good use would have turned around the lives of residents.
