Waiguru Fights Back! Slams MCAs For Slashing Her Budget
Jul 2, 2020
Kirinyaga Governor Ann Waiguru 
Kirinyaga Governor Ann Waiguru on Wednesday 1st July responded after Members of the Kirinyaga County Assembly slashed her budget.
This is after the MCAs on Monday 29th June made a move to starve their governor Ann Waiguru of funds. The MCAs slashed the Ksh60M that was directed to pay Waiguru's lawyers to Ksh 1M. The Ksh 59M was redirected to various projects in wards such as road construction and improvement of dispensaries in wards.
The Ksh 111M directed to the Kirinyaga County Secretary's budget was axed to nothing by the MCAs.
However, on Wednesday a visibly angry Ann Waiguru responded to the changes made by the MCAs terming them as unlawful.
"The estimates for the County Executive and the County Assembly are covered by the ceilings which are contained in the County Allocation of Revenue Act (CARA) and therefore, these amounts are ring-fenced by the act and cannot be amended in the budget estimates,” she said.
