By GRACE GITAUMore by this AuthorMurang’a County operations could grind to a halt after a court stopped the adoption of a supplementary budget approved by ward representatives. 'UNREALISTIC PROJECTION'The petitioners further questioned a move to increase the revenue collection target from Sh850 million in the initial annual budget to Sh1.3 billion in the supplementary budget. While dismissing the projection as unrealistic, Mr Mwangi and Mr Mburu argued that it was an attempt to deceive Controller of Budget Agnes Odhiambo into approving the changes. Governor Mwangi Wa Iria has assented to the supplementary budget, but the controller of budget is yet to approve the budget to allow the county to access the money. In their application, Mr Mwangi and Mr Mburu wanted the controller of budget restrained from approving the budget until the case challenging the illegal expenditure is concluded.
