| Mr Nathif Jama, Governor Garissa County |
Balambala MP Abdikadir Adan has accused Garissa Governor
Nathif Jama of abuse of office. The lawmaker popularly known as Abdi-K criticized
the governor and county administrators for misusing funds meant for development
projects and employing only one section of Garissa. He accused Nathif for spending too much money on unnecessary and
expensive trips, both local and international.
Speaking in a function at Balambala, Mr Adan said the trips
involve several security vehicles and hired Administration Police band, and
urged the national government to put the officers at County government on toes
for proper service delivery to the people.

The county government should use more than 60 percent of the
money distributed to them by the national government for development purposes
other than employing staffs from one family, insisted the MP.
“Money is here with us now. What we want to see is our
leaders sitting down and initiating development projects and utilize the money
that is lying idle in their bank accounts,” he said.
He said that the major reason why Kenyans voted
overwhelmingly for devolution was to create an avenue for counties to develop
and not necessarily for employment purposes.
“Employment at the counties should not overrule the
development that our people are yearning for. The leaders must open their eyes
for development,” he said. The legislator termed the governor "enemy’’
of devolution.
