data in order to answer questions concerning the current status of the subjects in a study. This

approach is essential to the study in collecting data on behavior, attitudes, values and

characteristics (Mugenda, 2008).

drawn from all the sub counties.

The researcher undertook Questionnaires, Interviewees, review of secondary data and
