Governors accuse national government of delaying in sending money to counties as well as allocating little to devolved units. The long-running tiff between the national and county governments over the sharing of national revenue resurfaced on Tuesday at the ongoing 4th Devolution Conference in Naivasha town, Nakuru County. Mr Mruttu said the proposed allocation of Sh291 billion for the 2017/2018 financial year was “a reduction to counties in real amounts”. “The law requires disbursement by the 15th date of every month,” said Mr Mruttu. “We are, for instance, unable to pay our contractors because we don’t have money,” said Mr Maangi.
