I cannot begrudge the celebratory mood of Jubilee adherents and fanatics but to use taxpayers money in facilitating a partisan activity is just not acceptable. The state has already committed close to 400 M and I don’t see why County Governments in the North Rift should spend more moneys on the same. The development record in the region for the past five years has been appalling to put it mildly. Whereas other counties are forging ahead with progressive policies the Lords of Poverty are putting a choking grip on the people of Uasin Gishu, Nandi and Baringo!
