Turkana spends more than Nairobi on development projects, report says - RINKC&P:
Turkana outspent Nairobi on development in the year to June, according to a new budget report that rated the three cities, including Mombasa and Kisumu, poorly on project spending.
The Controller of Budget report shows that Nairobi spent Sh1.8 billion on street lighting, roads and purchase of garbage trucks against a budget of Sh7.6 billion, reflecting a use of 25 per cent of the project budget against the counties average of 36 per cent.
Turkana spent Sh1.9 billion on projects while Wajir, which has recently been beset by clan fights, spent Sh2.6 billion.
The underwhelming use of project cash was reflected in all the three city counties, with Mombasa spending Sh107 million on development programmes against a budget of Sh4.7 billion. Kisumu spent Sh98 million against a budgeted Sh2.5 billion.
