| Updated Wed, January 25th 2017 at 00:00 GMT +3Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry RotichGovernors have dismissed claims that their inability to use a financial management system has delayed disbursement of cash to counties. Council of Governors (CoG) finance committee chairman Wycliffe Oparanya yesterday blamed Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich who he accused of locking them out of the implementation of the Integrated Financial Management System (IFMS). "It is therefore malicious and with bad intent for the National Treasury to allege counties have failed to absorb their allocations," argued Oparanya. He added: "Frequent collapsing of IFMS is a serious problem the ministry needs to address to avoid the constant back-and-forth with governors. Besides, the National Treasury must ensure urgent strengthening of IFMS."
