By DANIEL TSUMA NYASSYMore by this AuthorDeputy President William Ruto on Thursday started a tour of the six coastal counties. Out of this amount, Sh42 billion is earmarked for the Mzima Pipeline, Sh3 billion for Baricho waterworks and Sh1 billion for Mwache Dam, he said. “In the last three years, 458 primary and secondary schools have been connected to electricity in Kilifi County, only 41 remain and these ones will have power by end of the year,” he said. He was speaking at the Mariakani Milk Scheme grounds, where he presided over a harambee and donated Sh1 million and another Sh1 million from President Kenyatta. Mr Ruto regretted the corruption reported in Kilifi County, saying the county received Sh9.6 billion per year to help the people but “most of the cash finds its way into private pockets”.
