NyanzaGovernor Anyang' Nyong’o’s administration has only allocated 32 per cent of its budget towards developmentThe Kisumu Assembly is set to debate the county's Sh11.2 billion budget, which proposes to cut funds meant for development by about Sh400 million. This comes as high wage bill and recurrent budget are allocated a big chunk of the funds, or approximately 45 per cent. In the proposals, Governor Anyang' Nyong’o’s administration has only allocated 32 per cent of its budget towards development, which falls short of the 35 per cent required by law. It is, however, unclear whether the county government will be able to complete some of the stalled projects.
