Because Turkana is a pastoral region, residents will be seeking a governor who can ensure their perennial pasture and water scarcity is addressed.
Mr Ethuro said Jubilee was campaigning for peace, development, poverty eradication and ensuring residents have food and water.
Top on Mr Munyes’s agenda is to devolve funds further to sub-counties so that residents prioritise their needs.
“Most residents of Turkana are pastoralists and, therefore, that will be a key sector to invest in — to ensure access to water for our livestock and have peace with our neighbours to make pastoralism a worthy venture,” he said.
Mr Nanok will have to ensure ODM wins more seats.
Among his top achievements is improvement of the health sector and early childhood development and opening up the region through investment in road construction.
He dismissed the governor’s claim on bursaries, saying many students had dropped out, forcing leaders to donate to keep them in school.
“Turkana South and Turkana East Sub-Counties, where oil was discovered, will have their share meant for communities around oil sites,” said Mr Munyes, adding that he expected the county government to be allocated 20 per cent of the proceeds of oil.
He pledged to ensure that the Petroleum (Exploration Development and Production) Bill, 2016, which is before the Senate, will guarantee a 20 per cent revenue allocation to the county.
Mr Lomenen, who echoed Mr Munyes, said: “We have told the national government that no oil will be transported from Turkana when the road is not completed and Lokichar connected to the national grid”.
