Narok,Kenya: Reports that the county assembly could not hold sittings due to shortage of funds to pay sitting allowances to the 35 MCAs came as a shocker as the 2014-15 financial year entered its second half.

Speaker Geoffrey Korir (pictured on mic) revealed that the assembly had exhausted the allocated Sh265 million after its initial budget was rejected due to budget caps introduced by the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA).
