Nyamira County has been thrown into a financial crisis after the Executive declined to sign the Budget and Appropriations Bill 2018/2019.

The control of more than Sh1.9 billion development vote out of the Sh6.5 billion estimates is the bone of contention between the Executive and the County Assembly. The Executive termed the Bill an illegal document which does not reflect the requisite planning demands of the county.
