So Raila promises to revive Coast economy by devolving 45% of budgeted funds to the counties. Really? Will that just revive Coast economy automatically? How?
1. Coast governors have failed to invest in agriculture, some like Kingi went on purchasing spree for tractors which are laying idle and haven't added even a kilo of food produce in the county.
2. Coast governors have failed to invest in fishing, fish processing and marketing, all under their mandates, but spend millions moving around, blaming national govt for every failure they have committed.
3. Coast governors have not even touched on the coconut, cashew nut and bixa sectors. No county has managed to attract investors in these forgotten but lucrative enterprises that can change the fortunes of the people of coast . Instead, they invest their primitive energies in political diarrhea, chest thumping and orange talk that add no value to the coast people.
4. Coast governors, except Mvurya have abandoned any collaboration with the national govt, they are waiting for Raila Odinga for them to work with the national govt, just because of partisan political mediocrity.
5. Coast governors have copied Raila's politics of poverty; often doing nothing for their constituents, except political talks and fiefdom chauvinism. Am shocked that Joho, yesterday had nothing to say except telling the people of Rabai that next time Uhuru held his meeting in Mvita, he would hold a parallel one in Nyali.
The people of Rabai are farmers, growing mainly maize, cassava and value the sacred coconut tree. Raila, Joho and Kingi never spoke of any measure to revive the spiritual crop of the people of Rabai, Coconut crop. They have no agenda for Coast cash crops. With that, the people were not moved by all the verbal diarrhea pooped yesterday.
