GOVERNOR CALLS FOR DEVELOPMENT AND SENATOR NTUTU OPPOSED NAROK DEVELOPMENT AND BECOME FIRST TO ACCUSE;

We send our condolences to the people of narok at large and the victims of yesterday flash floods which has hit the town. This is due the heavy rains experienced across narok and county at large.

Narok is a peaceful place for decades and currently the political turmoil is being driven by self interests. We need to deeply look on the crisis upon the developments in narok county.

The latest upon being the floods in narok town. The heavy downpour has led the destruction of properties and lives. The town is situated in between two hills which may lead to continuous floods.

Narok Senator and MPs are on record opposing the move by Governor tuna I to relocate the town to a hill place that is safe for constructions and will evade the frequently faced floods.

Ironically, they are the same who swiftly came in and accuse the government for not acting upon the state of towns. The senator has refused to sit with the governor over the development in the county.

Blaming the county government by the senator team is uncalled for and the team should not sit on the fence on double standards. The opposed the development and now accuse on undervelopment.

The Governor on January has awarded tender to a Chinese company to expand the drainage system in town. The drainage has however started but the corrosion of soil in the hills can't gave space for contractors but they have managed to drain all water ways in narok town.

Our Roads in Narok are better Now

Two years since the advent of devolution, Narok Governor Samwel Ole Tunai says the county has achieved commendable growth in various sectors despite the opposition he has faced from a section of local leaders. Tunai said the county, whose slogan is 'Home of the Seventh World Wonder', now has the first-ever tarmac road after years of neglect of the critical sector by previous regimes and the defunct local authority. The six-kilometre road from Nairegia-Enkare junction to the trading centre is complete and ready for commissioning.

The county chief said they have set aside a whopping Sh1.2 billion in the 2013-2014 budget for the upgrade of roads and so far over 800 kilometres have been rehabilitated. He revealed that they have earmarked Sh800 million for the third phase of the project after successful completion of phase one and two. Tunai says the county can only realise its full potential if the road network in the area is up to scratch.

"Roads infrastructure is a critical component to our economy and that is why we are investing heavily in the sector," he said. He adds: "We want to be done with roads by next year so that we can start focusing on other areas," said Tunai.

The county chief warned contractors who do shoddy work that they risked having their contracts cancelled. He at the same called on residents to closely monitor road works in the area and report contractors doing substandard work.
"The best people to audit and interrogate what is happening are those living in the areas where such roads are being constructed," he said.
