Let Counties learn from one another
Let Counties learn from one another
After the promolgation of the constitution,47 Counties were created.The 47 Counties have Governors,deputy governors,MCA's and other appointed personnel.Each County has its unique infrastructure and no County is the same as another County.These Counties are supposed to bring development to the Counties.There have been development in many Counties eg in Wajir,Turkana and Lamu and other far fetched Counties.They now have good roads and good infrastructure development. But the elephant in the room is the rivalry between Counties. The most common rivalry is the boundary friction. Many neighbouring Counties fight for towns or places which have development or good infrastructure and have income generating projects.But instead of these Counties coming together and mapping out what another County has which the other County does not have and utilize each other infrastructure,instead there is a bickering every now and again.There are Counties with better hospitals which specializes in particular areas like kijabe eye clinic,Alipe and Mathari mental hospital.These hospitals should be made an excellent place for doctors,nurses and clinical officwrs to go for training.Same as Kenyatta National hospital which is the best in Kenya.Counties can utilize doctors,nursesclinicsl,officers and other personnel to train their doctors in the Counties.We also have Counties with the best swimmers.Other Counties should send their swimmers to be trained because Kenya is experiencing flash floods and drowning in dams and pools.Another area is roads.Counties should look around for the best built roads so that they show those who apply tenders for roads in their Counties.Another area is accounting.Many managers have been taken to Court because of embezzling monies entrusted to them.This is a thorn in the flesh in Counties.ln Kitui County, there is a factory which is making PPE's and masks.This venture should have been emuleted by other Counties long ago to alleviate the suffering of doctors and lack of masks in Counties.Let parliament create an ombudsman of the 47 Counties so that their misunderstandings on land,dermacation and properties can be sorted out amicably.
