The Council of Governors has criticised Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for claiming that the devolved unit has received El Nino funds. The DP said so far, Mombasa was the only one among those affected by floods that had not released El Nino Funds. However, the COG boss said if anything, the national government has failed to disperse funds to the devolved units. "We note with concern public utterances that suggest that county governments have received funds from the national government to support the mitigation of the devastating impact of the El Nino rains," she said. Waiguru said 13 counties are owed Sh10.17 billion for September, 27 counties are owed Sh19.64 billion for October and all counties are owed, Sh32.76 billion for November.
