Governors led by their Finance and Economic Affairs Committee Chair in the governor's council Fernandes Barasa have called on the national government to quicken the release of the equitable share for the seamless running of counties.
Governors Kenneth Lusaka (Bungoma), Wilber Otichillo (Vihiga) and Paul Otuoma (Busia) called on the National Treasury to fast-track the release of the monies as they were straining to offer services. Mr Barasa, who is Kakamega governor, expressed concern service delivery was being derailed by sporadic disbursement of funds from the National Government even after raising the issues with the Treasury PS.
