Bypasses are to do with the city, not the neighbouring provinces. Avoiding Nairobi is the point here. It is unfortunate that the Southern bypass has not started due to world bank funding hitches despite it being on the cards for such along time. A schedule of allocation of Resources to various raoads is always published on the dailies once a year by the Road Board for scrutiny.
There is also the issue of Transafrican highways. One starts at Mombasa and crosses to Malaba. Othe one starts from Wundanyi through Nairobi and heads North to Isiolo to Wajir. Being centrally placed like central kenya or kenya as a contry is geographical advantage and not necessarily favouritism. International trunk roads passing through Nairobi are funded differently from local roads.
On water, previous water minister was also from Ukambani. Minister for semi-arid and arid is from North eastern. Agriculture minister is from Rift valley. Problem is, even Taita Taveta, upper eastern, Turkana, Baringo, West Pokot, North Eastern, Coast, Loitok tok, Magadi have water issues. Could be that she is allocating all resources to her region as a way of gaining Ukambani political supremacy at the expense of other regions?
