The Nyamira County Government has not utilised Sh87 million grant to boost the agriculture sector for the last two years.
Members of County Assembly (MCAs) are now demanding answers regarding the funds that had been allocated to support farmers.
County Assembly Speaker Moffat Teya sought an explanation from the Executive through the Assembly’s Finance Committee on why farmers were suffering when money was lying idle in a bank account.
“We need to know why the monies are lying idle in the bank account for two years. The executive in charge of Finance and Planning is required to appear before the committee on Finance to give details on this matter within 14 days,” Speaker Teya said during the Thursday session.
