Stop the 70 million Kakamega Governor's residence

Stop the 70 million Kakamega Governor's residence
There was an impasse over revenue sharing between the two levels of government which has seen the enactment of the 2019 Approbations Act,even though the Senate and the National Assembly were unable to agree on the Division of revenue Bill,which the later then enacted unilaterally. Many Governors have not accounted for funds allocated to their control and it beats logic for them to go demonstrating on the road that they need more funds while they are on the wanted list by DPP Noordin Hajj,look at kiambu. One of the Governors' favourite is the building of mansions especially Governors in the rural areas.Governors will hold a meeting in Nakuru titled "The future of Devolution" and it is a second in two weeks. This is a wastage of funds and time for development matters in their Counties.  l propose that Governors discuss more on how to be released on bail and how to employ people who will utilize and account for the funds under their watch because there is a lot of misapropriation.President Uhuru Kenyatta has urged Governors to work with funds allocated to them.A report that Kakamega County will spend sh 10 million on the final phase of construction of the Governor's residence in Lukuyani Sub-County and there is no mortuary facilities in that area betrays their priorities and budgeting. The amount was budgeted for in 2019/2020 financial year.The residence had a budget of 70 million and has been running since 2013/2014 financial year. The money added will furnish the residence do landscaping and put in place final touches on the project.The Governors is the chairman of all Governors.He should have used the 70 million to start  businesses for the people of Kakamega like promoting farming eg buying manure,seeds,paying fee for University students,promoting small scale traders etc If he is not eligible for the next term why spend 70 million on a residence.Let this project be stopped,because it is out to benefit an individual not the community. Alternately 70 million can create contract jobs for the residence for 4 years.Where do Governors copy these projects from? This is pure waste.
