Kirinyaga: Row on budget yet to be over

Leaders in Kirinyaga are yet to agree on how finance for the year 2020/2021 will be utilised.

 The leaders have been up in arms thus delay approving Sh5.6billion budget, as the residents continue to suffer.

 After they met in Nairobi to broker peace and reconciliation, the MCAs are yet to give their stand on the deliberations initiated to break peace between the county executive and the assembly.

The assembly remained in a closed-door meeting  for better part of the day going through the deliberation entered by the parties.

Team led by Majority Leader Kamau Murango postponed a press conference set to inform the locals on their way forward.

“We are yet to agree and looking for a meeting with members of the press,” said Murango.

 In Nairobi, details emerged that the leaders agreed that Sh10million to be disbursed per ward, and another Sh7 million  to facilitate completion  of the stalled development projects.

 The assembly and the executive have been at war over  the alleged misappropriation of funds.

But according to Governor Annie Waiguru appreciated the outcome of the negotiation between the assembly and the executive.

“I would like to thank Mt Kenya Foundation chaired by Dr Peter Munga  for steering the mediation talks and their dedication  and commitment in  seeing that the matter  was settled,” read part of the Governor’s statement.
