• The move aims to prevent increased unauthorized use of public resources like vehicles, fuel, and personnel for partisan political activities.
• Controller of Budget Margaret Nyakang’o is concerned that heightened expenditure could negatively impact service delivery and development projects, particularly at the county level.
