Uasin Gishu County Governor Jackson Mandago has called for timely disbursement of county funds.

He wants the Senate to amend laws that will see these funds released on a quarterly basis to ensure consistency in implementation of development projects.

He said the National Treasury has not released some Sh2.2 billion for development projects to his county yet it is only two months to the end of the 2015/16 Financial Year. “This should be the main agenda in the third Annual Devolution Conference because most projects are behind time,” Mr Mandago said.
