Inefficiencies in national government departments and agencies in counties are caused by lack of funding, Makueni county commissioner Mohammed Maalim (pictured) has said. Unlike the Ministry of Interior, where the government gives quarterly allocations, some county departmental heads get no funding all year round. “I think it’s time all other ministries and government agencies borrow a leaf from the Ministry of Interior and facilitate their officers. He said without funding, officers “cook” reports in the comfort of their offices without making field visits. I encourage the public to report officers who sneak out of office before time,” Maalim said.
