Controller of Budget Margaret Nyakang'o has raised concern over the huge wage bills that counties are struggling with.

A report covering the first nine months of the 2023/2024 Financial Year indicates that only Narok and Kilifi counties managed to cap expenditure on wages below 35 per cent of the total expenditure.
