Uasin Gishu MCAs have criticised Governor Jackson Mandago over stalled projects and a poor development record saying he failed to absorb more than Sh3.5 billion last year. Lowoi said while the county fully utilises the recurrent budget, very little is done to ensure development projects are implemented. The Assembly budget committee chairman Jonathan Ngetich accused the Executive of giving excuses on the failed or stalled development projects in all wards in the county. The Senate Finance and Budget committee chaired by Kirinyaga Senator Charles Kibiru last month termed the deal too costly to the taxpayer. The sale agreement provides that the Sh570 million was to be paid in two instalments of Sh300 million and Sh270 million.
