National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale has praised the Jubilee government over projects initiated in Garissa County.
Mr Duale said the Jubilee government has initiated projects to improve the living standards of Garissa residents, especially the pastoral communities and also address the food security issue.
Some of the projects the government has implemented in the pastoral areas include the Isiolo-Marsabit highway and Garissa-Modogashe-Wajir highway which is under construction, said the Garissa Township MP.
The MP said power supply from the national grid has reached Garissa while the government has also assisted the Garissa University project, schools and health centers which were built through CDF.
“Devolution has solved the narrative of marginalization. Pastoralists cannot talk of marginalization whereas the government spent Sh200 billion for development in the last five years,” Mr Duale said.
The Pastoralist Parliamentary Group patron Ekwee Ethuro called on MPs from the pastoral communities to work with MPs from other regions for them to get support in the National Assembly and the Senate.
“You can’t work in isolation in Parliament or the Senate. As legislators, we need each other when it comes to passing some motions. We must, therefore, unite with MPs from other areas,” he said.
