The stand-off between the Taita Taveta county executive and members of the county assembly (MCAs) over the 2015-2016 budget has been resolved after the assembly agreed to amend the disputed fiscal estimates.
Governor John Mruttu agreed to sign the budget after earlier resistance, following intense negotiations which oblige MCAs to amend the budget to address the governor's concerns over Sh291 million, which the assembly hived from the Executive to the Ward Development Fund.
