As you are aware the first quarter of the Financial Year 2020/21 is almost coming to an end.
Regrettably, County Governments are yet to receive their Equitable share of revenue and the concerned institutions including the National Treasury; the Controller of Budget; the Attorney General; the Senate and National Assembly have not authorized release of our funds. Instead, they have advanced a myriad excuses which defeat the constitutional intent of transferring the equitable share of revenue without delays.
Interestingly, every institution or organ has been quick to pass the buck in this disastrous dereliction of duty.
We have engaged each institution over the last few months and have held numerous meetings including Summit meetings with the Head of State. While the institutions feign good faith, they have completely failed in resolving the impasse.
