Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich yesterday said for three years up to June, the national government had cleared all disbursements to county governments. Appearing before the Senate committee on Public Accounts and Investments, the CS said most of the counties crying foul may have been living beyond their means. “If counties do not get their revenue projections correctly, then certainly, they will enter into commitments beyond them. The shortfall in revenue would lead to pending bills,” said Mr Rotich. This is despite Prof Nyong’o telling the CS that Uasin Gishu and Nakuru counties had also joined Nairobi in blaming Treasury for pending bills.
