Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua said the county government will not be in a position to pay salaries of staff, including health workers due to lack of money from the exchequer. "It is quite a tragedy that in today’s Kenya, political interests and legalistic justifications are denying the people of Kenya their rights under devolution," said Mutua. Through a press statement, the Mandeleo Chap Chap leader added that "The reality is that there is money in the bank. However, there appears to be no political will to fund county operations". "It is time in Kenya, every person demanded for their rights and real change, especially in 2022," he said.
