[Stanley Ongwae, Standard]The Nyamira County Government has not utilised Sh87 million grant to boost the agriculture sector for the last two years. Members of County Assembly (MCAs) are now demanding answers regarding the funds that had been allocated to support farmers. County Assembly Speaker Moffat Teya sought an explanation from the Executive through the Assembly’s Finance Committee on why farmers were suffering when money was lying idle in a bank account. The money was given as a grant to the county government for the financial year 2018/2019 under the Devolution Support Programme. This is money meant to spur growth in the agriculture sector,” Kiabonyoru MCA Duke Omoti said.
