What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The World Bank backed the Horn of Africa Groundwater for Resilience Project, which targets five drought-prone counties in Kenya, including Turkana County, Marsabit, Wajir, Mandera, and Garissa. A constitutional petition was filed by Francis Awino seeking detailed records on the Ksh17 billion program, which Kenya contributed to. The petition demands reports on approved budgets, contracts, and the operational status of infrastructure projects.
