Petroleum and Mining Cabinet Secretary John Munyes has clashed with Turkana Governor Josephat Nanok over a recent report that rated the county as the poorest in Kenya. 

Munyes is demanding a forensic audit of the county, claiming that for the last nine years since the devolved system of governance came into place, there was little to show in development of Turkana County. However, Nanok has dismissed the report and calls for an audit.
