Garissa County is on the brink of collapse under the leadership of Governor Ali Bunow Korane. The county's residents have lost hope in the governor's ability to deliver on his promises.
Instead of ushering in an era of change and prosperity, Governor Korane has chosen to govern through deception, nepotism, corruption, and mismanagement.
Almost all county contracts and tenders are awarded to his family and relatives, with Jihan Company, owned by Governor Korane, being a major beneficiary. Akad company, another relative of the governor, has been returning nil (0) as their Tax returns, denying the government millions of shillings in tax and VAT.
The governor's nepotism is evident in his employment of family members and relatives, further exacerbating the county's problems.
Garissa County is destined to leave a battered, dismembered, and tattered county behind, with Governor Korane's leadership being the primary cause.
Leaders like Korane often delude themselves and mislead the masses by creating sideshows and unnecessary theatrics to deceive people that they are unable to implement their pledges due to external interferences.
It is time for Governor Korane to go home, as his inaction and delusional thinking have caused irreparable damage to the county.
