A section of leaders and residents in Tharaka Nithi County have raised concerns over the proposed 2025/2026 county budget, citing blatant inequality in resource allocation.
Addressing residents during a public forum held in Mitheru Ward, the area MCA Nevert Kinuthia led calls for an immediate review of the budget, claiming that both Mitheru and Nkondi Wards have received zero allocations in the proposed estimates despite their urgent development needs. "This budget lacks fairness.
It is unconstitutional because it does not uphold equity across wards.
Some wards have been favored with millions, while others like Mitheru have been completely sidelined," alleged Mr Kinuthia.
