Treasury CS Henry Rotich called to House over county funds

NAIROBI: Furious MPs in charge of the budget-making process in both the Senate and the National Assembly Wednesday summoned the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for the National Treasury Henry Rotich to explain the "premature" release of proposals for county allocations.

The National Assembly's Budget and Appropriations Committee, and the Senate's Committee on Finance, Commerce and Economic Affairs sought to quell anxiety among governors that the two Houses had already agreed on the allocations to counties.
