CRA chairman Micah Cheserem revealed that county assemblies have ignored both his commission and Controller of Budget directive’s on budget ceilings, insisting they will apply their own formula in sharing revenue meant for service delivery in the regional governments. Cheserem yesterday cited several county assemblies, among them Lamu, Kisumu, Kakamega, Kwale and Makueni, which are sending large delegations of MCAs to countries in the Far East and America. “What has disturbed us most is that we have been told of huge delegations making trips to ostensibly spend the monies allocated to county assemblies,” Cheserem explained. He gave the example of Makueni where all MCAs are set to tour Singapore this week. “We are informed for instance that Makueni County Assembly has only spent about 55 per cent in their budget and this trip is apparently meant to ensure these funds are utilised,” Cheserem told journalists in Nairobi.
