Murang’a Governor Irungu Kang’ata and Kitui Senator Enoch Wambua have urged the National Treasury to expedite the implementation of the e-Procurement system to release funds owed to county governments, which they claim has paralyzed operations for three consecutive months.

• Counties have not received their equitable share allocation for three consecutive months, leading to delayed staff salaries and halted bursary payments.
• Governor Kang’ata hosted Senator Wambua and MCAs from Kitui, Machakos, and Makueni counties to highlight the funding crisis.
• The delayed integration of county budgets into the new e-Procurement system is cited as the reason funds cannot be disbursed, disrupting essential services and development projects.
