Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Garissa Governor Nathif Jama has raised concern over what he terms as political interference in the Kenya Development Response to Displacement Impact Project.<\/p>\n

KDRDIP is a National Government initiative, supported by the World Bank to improve the lives of refugee hosting communities in Garissa, Turkana and Wajir counties.<\/p>\n

Jama accused politicians he did not name of trying to sabotage the project whose sole intention he said was to improve the lives of refugee hosting communities. The governor said such interference was putting the county and community at risk of missing out from the benefits accruing from the project.<\/p>\n

He expressed concern over stalling of projects due to political interference and called on parties involved to reach consensus quickly for the benefit of the community.<\/p>\n

Governor Jama was speaking on Tuesday when he met with a joint delegation from KDRDIP and the World Bank who paid him a courtesy call. The World Bank team was led by Matthew Stephens and his deputy Annette Omollo while the KDRDIP team was led by Wilfred Omari, the National Project Coordinator KDRDIP.<\/p>\n

They are in the county to assess and review some of the projects undertaken under the KDRDIP project. But speaking on phone, Fafi MP Salah Yakub declined to comment on the governor’s allegations.<\/p>\n

“Kindly I’m not willing to comment on it. That’s all I can say for now,” he said.<\/p>\n

In April, hundreds of Fafi residents held peaceful demonstrations outside the KDRDIP Garissa offices demanding that all projects under the World Bank be suspended with immediate effect.<\/p>\n

The placard-waving protesters who moved to the KDRDIP offices said their efforts to seek an audience with the Garissa officials did not yield fruits and wanted the Nairobi office to intervene.<\/p>\n

Among the issues the demonstrators wanted resolved include the halting of all community mobilisers and community facilitators whom they accuse of frustrating them.<\/p>\n

They also wanted all officials of the Garissa office including social mobilisers and community facilitators replaced, accusing them of among others biases, duplication of projects.<\/p>\n

This forced the PS for Development of Arid and Semi-Arid Lands and Regional Development Idris Dokota to appoint a committee to investigate concerns raised by the residents.<\/p>\n
