Turkana county Government To Include citizen in process of county development.

Pastoralists are calling up on the county government to involve them in any processes that affects them through Public participation.

The pastoralists have raised this issue following the county government financial bill of 2014/2015 where charges have been raised and they cannot afford to pay that amount.

Speaking today in his office after meeting with the Lodwar sale yard committee members, the chairman Turkana county livestock marketing council Mr. Joseph Losuru said that they are petitioning the county government on this bill  that was passed by the county assembly without the involvement of the community who are going to be affected by the bill.

Losuru however said that the pastoralists have been threatening to demonstrate against this bill, but they calmed them down. He said his team presented their grievances to the county government through the governor, who has promised to address it immediately before it is implemented.

As by now they are going on with the normal rates until they will both come to an agreement with the county government and county assembly.                               

He said the proposed rates are not fair to the common man, since the income of the people in this region is too low to afford it.
