Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei has criticised MPs for rejecting a proposal to increase county allocations by Ksh60 billion, terming the decision a threat to devolution.
On June 3, the National Assembly rejected an amendment by the Senate, saying the country's economy was not in a position to accommodate the additional funding to counties, which have been allocated Ksh405 billion. Cherargei said that he is disappointed with the National Assembly's decision, and the Senate will go for mediation. "As a Senate, we are going for mediation.
It cannot be that the budget of Kenya is Ksh4 trillion, yet you want to give counties Ksh 405 billion.
It is very unfair.
