Let them drill boreholes and make dams every 5KM in Kitui or wherever, that isnt corruption but being selfish .....and shallow minded in decision making... But, heck! let it be at the right cost!!!

Come on wazuans! The key issue is not where the boreholes or dams have been made...Where on earth does a 300ft water borehole cost Ksh120Millions??? Heck! That's Ksh 400,000 per feet!!! A feet is that 30cm ruler lying on your desk...By the time the drill bit is 6ft (Kaburi deep), the dudes have a Ksh2.4Million cheque! Lets pray this is just porojo, otherwise PLO should get ready the biggest frying pan!

@ extrablessed can you give a link from where you are getting those figures coz they are just way over the top. Just completing a project where the driller is charging 7,000 per metre for drilling and casing. 400,000/= per feet!!! Thats 1.2 million per metre enough to drill 2 or 3 boreholes.

@extrablessed, kwani you are in Water ministry? that's too expensive per foot, but they also consider length and width of the shimo when digging (kama latrine)such things ama?

Drill bits come in standard sizes. The most commonly used bit in Kenya for drilling boreholes is 216 mm(8.5 inches)in diameter.The cost of the borehole is the function of the depth.

@Fundaa, Turkana is also a 'permanent' recipient of relief food and is inhabited. Does it not warrant the same concentration of boreholes as Ukambani? And the Ukambani here under discussion is Kitui. BTW, Kieni is also inhabited and the people there also practice farming. Why the discrimination?

Water is a basic necessity for all, whether you are idling, farming or running a 'kichinjio' that exports meat (read Garissa). All I'm saying is that Ngilu is selfishly allocating national resources to her corner of Kenya. This is not only myopic but regressive. Just because other leaders have done the same doesn't make it right.

...we let see how kiunjuri's dossier is handled! But as long as this war on graft takes a political/tribal dimension, we are back 2 square-1...Not even a new katiba would sort us out!

And for PLO...The bigger the fish the bigger the frying-pan required, else the mbuta will just be smiling and enjoying the warmth from the miniature frying-pan!...

WERE THE BOREHOLES DRILLED AT THE RIGHT COST?..........it doesn't matter whether it was Kitui or Garissa. Kama kawaida Raila is just playing politics in all these.

Its clear that the PM and the President are not reading from the same script.

Why would one invest billions in digging boreholes when two major rivers and several seasonal ones pass through that area.

Ngilus ministry,planning ministry and finance ministry should be held accountable for misuse of my tax shilling.
