A failed attempt by a group of traders to use a company to win a tender at the Kisumu County Government may have led to the fallout between MCAs and the executive over the Sh280m Ward Development Fund, The Standard On Sunday has established.
The alleged misappropriation of the funds sparked battles between the assembly and the executive, with administrators of the fund claiming they were being targeted by MCAs after they blocked a company associated with some of them from getting a Sh175 million tender to construct offices in each of the county’s 35 wards.
