5 THINGS YOU WON'T FORGET IN THE FIRST 5 YEARS OF DEVOLUTION

1. THE 7 MILLION GATE
The entrance to the Nyamira County Hospital was built at an amazing cost of Ksh. 7m, yet it looks like a normal gate costing less than half a million. The county government never came clear on this nor did the state investigative agencies employ their time on the matter. Only the media did... Welcome to Kenya of 'Haki Yetu'.

2. THE 8,000 KISII FLASKS

The Kisii County government is amazing. No wonder how small every penny taxed is, the executive can't afford to use cheap utensils in their offices. Just to hold tea that they took in their homes, the county executive purchased these brands commonly called Thermos at Ksh. 8,000 whereas the cheapest goes at Ksh. 350. The supplier and the tendering committee are enjoying freedom of 'utilising' public funds. Unforgettable...

How much will it cost to prevent excessive light from penetrating to your room? Just a sheet? No, in Meru, millions are allocated such sheets to help cover hospital windows.
. Don't comment...

5. THE 1MILLION KIRINYAGA FACEBOOK PAGE

How much will it cost you to make the few clicks that will give out a Facebook page? Did I hear you say 'only two coca cola bottle tops with data bundle prizes below them'? In Kirinyaga that consumed a seven figure... You can't believe? But you are not Thomas...
