DETAILS have emerged that The Controller of Budget (CoB) has rejected Turkana County’s First Supplementary Budget of KSh 19 billion for the 2024/2025 financial year, citing alleged inconsistencies in revenue projections and expenditure classifications.

According to the CoB, the county claimed own-source revenue of KSh 1.2 billion, a figure the office allegedly assessed as unrealistic, estimating actual potential collections at about KSh 380 million.

The CoB also alleged that staff salaries were incorrectly listed as pending bills, contrary to public finance guidelines. In addition, it was claimed that several projects from the previous budget cycle were not implemented but were nonetheless carried forward into the supplementary budget.

Further, the CoB allegedly raised concerns that own-source revenue was used to cover expenditures that could not be adequately accounted for.

The CoB further claimed that the supplementary budget deviated from the approved original budget by 74 per cent, a variance allegedly contrary to the Public Finance Management Act, which allows supplementary budgets to vary by no more than 10 per cent.

Following the rejection, the budget has been referred back to the Turkana County Assembly, where the Budget and Appropriations Committee is expected to review the issues raised, realign the estimates, and present a revised version for approval before resubmission to the Controller of Budget.

The rejection was communicated on Wednesday this week, according to official sources.

Residents of Naipa in Loima Sub-County, are raising alarm over the severe water scarcity affecting their community. Due to the lack of safe and reliable water sources, residents especially women and children are being forced to rely on unsafe river water, exposing them to serious health risks.

Speaking on behalf of local women, Ruth Amoni notes that several boreholes in the area are non-functional and have remained unrepaired for long periods, despite their potential to serve thousands of people.

The community is questioning why existing water infrastructure has been left to collapse while families continue to suffer.

Loima Sub-County remains one of the most water stressed areas in Turkana.

According to recent data, access to improved water sources in Turkana County is very low: overall, only about half of households (roughly 51 %) have access to improved water sources, and in Loima specifically only about 35 % of households rely on improved water sources, with many others dependent on rivers, shallow wells, and other unsafe sources.

Surface water remains a primary resource for more than a third of the population in the county’s arid conditions.

The water crisis in Loima and across Turkana is driven by non-functional boreholes, not lack of infrastructure. With about 233 broken boreholes and shallow wells countywide, communities are forced to rely on unsafe water.

Ayok TV reports that at least 38 boreholes are mapped for repair this financial year by development partners, as local communities intensify calls for urgent technical intervention and proper maintenance.

Women in Naipa are now appealing to local leadership for urgent action on this issue, expressing frustration that they have been neglected on this matter for far too long.

Cabinet Secretary for the East African Community (EAC), Beatrice Askul, has outlined government plans to address the worsening drought situation, following reports by the National Drought Management Authority (NDMA) indicating that Turkana County is at an alarming stage.

CS Askul said the government is actively mobilizing state corporations and regional bodies to pool resources and avert the crisis. She emphasized that the government has consistently prioritized drought preparedness, including promoting a strong culture of water harvesting across affected regions.

She noted that consultations have been held with the Kerio Valley Development Authority (KVDA) leadership, including the CEO and the Chairperson, to ensure continuity of key interventions such as borehole drilling and the construction of water pans to help mitigate the effects of drought.

“We are not sitting back to wait for the situation to worsen. We are mobilizing partners across the region and working in a coordinated manner to address this challenge,” said CS Askul.

Speaking on behalf of the ASAL (Arid and Semi-Arid Lands) regions, she added that the Deputy President of the Republic is currently engaging with partners and development agencies to develop a comprehensive response plan to the drought situation.

Looking ahead, CS Askul highlighted regional resource-sharing mechanisms, including the recently launched ATEKER Council, as part of long-term solutions. She noted that such frameworks will enhance cross-border cooperation and strengthen resilience along Kenya’s borders.

Because of time zones east of UTC, some countries entered 2026 earlier than the rest of the world.

These included Kiribati (the first), Samoa, Tonga, New Zealand, Australia (most), and many Pacific nations, along with parts of Asia such as Japan, the Koreas, China, Southeast Asia, eastern Indonesia, and Russia’s Far East.

Meanwhile, regions west of or closer to UTC, Africa, Europe, and the Americas, were still in 2025 and celebrated the New Year later in their local time zones.

Today. Atleast a thousand residents from four villages in Lodwar Township ward benefited from a feeding outreach led by Moses EBEI, aspiring MCA for Lodwar Township Ward (2027).

The villages include; Nakwamekwi, Kawalathe, Nabwelpus and Nabuteni.

Speaking to Ayok TV, Moses emphasized that this is a time when young people like himself must step up to support the elderly, as poverty continues to force many of them to suffer in silence.

Through Moseti Foundation, the mission remains simple, kindness, care, and uplifting the vulnerable not only during festive seasons but in everyday life.

Hon. EBEI extends gratitude to the dedicated team behind the foundation for standing with the community.
