Lolest! wrote:@timizo you raise some good argument. I was also wondering why NFD has low recurring expenditure while the big 2 cities are in the bottom 10. I thought maybe wages huko are low. Nice point. Higher population leads to higher labour force for schools, hospitals etc
But why are all the other 7 counties in top 10? The 2 Abagusii counties are in the top 10! These are densely populated areas!
Your point 1 is not valid. We are comparing percentages not absolute figures
On point 1, I wanted to demonstrate that since population largely determines recurrent expenditure, allocation based on county size may be helping big counties increase their expenditure on development expenditure. Poor counties also should have more access to development cash because this also is a factor in allocation of money. Of course governors performance is also a factor but not 100% indicative of the true position.
Remember there are those that took time before they started to implement development projects. May be we need to come out with an index to really rank how best governors are doing
But we need to seriously be checking the following websites if we would want to really evaluate what our governors are doing.

Parliament is doing zero work on its oversight role and I consider them to be the biggest enemy of this country. Akina Keter thinks oversight is storming a waybridge office.
