Acting Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury and Planning Ukur Yatani has issued a new directive that will halt disbursement of funds to county governments until pending bills are cleared.

In a move to ensure accountability, county governments will be required to provide monthly status reports that will include itemized lists of all the bills paid.
