Uasin Gishu County:Governor Jackson Mandago has criticised MCAs for spending too much time on foreign trips at the expense of passing the relevant legislation to facilitate the work of his executive. Mandago lamented that the county reps recently went to Rwanda at a cost of more than KSh20 million. “The money could have been diverted to other projects such as roads,”Mandago said. County residents have also argued that the tour was uncalled for at this time when they are faced with many challenges. They said the money should have been used for development matters, among them the improvement of infrastructure that has led to farmers incurring losses as they cannot access markets due to bad roads. Uasin Gishu County Development Forum Chairman Felix Korir said Rwanda trip was not a priority, terming the move as a waste of resources. “We have so many problems affecting our people and it would be a shame to see the county representatives traversing the continent with our money. We elected them to address our issues and not to misuse our money,” he said.
