By refusing to pass county budgets, the MCAs are holding back funds required for development projects, and those who pay the price are the voters who elected them into office. Updated Sat, July 9th 2016 at 00:00 GMT +3Several county assemblies across the country have been accused of holding back development projects by not endorsing county budgets on time. For instance in Nakuru County, the MCAs have taken a two-week recess before approving the 2016/17 budget. Indeed, some Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) have ganged up against the Executive wing of county governments to frustrate the disbursement of development funds. And when motions that seek to increase these emoluments are tabled, the MCAs are very quick to endorse these motions.
