Members of The County Assembly (MCA’s) have recently stated their demands if they are to stand in support of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI). Speaking through the County Assemblies Forum (CAF), they voiced out their demands stating that they want the Ward Fund Kitty improved from 5% to 30%.
The MCAs noted that it was imperative that the law is changed to grant county assemblies full financial independence from county governments tov enable them perform their oversight role.
“The BBI should insulate county assemblies budgets from arbitrary or politically motivated interference by the county executive to kill the oversight role of the assemblies. This is the only way we can ensure the constitutionally provided mandate of oversight by MCAs is effective.
We recommend a comprehensive scientific costing of devolved and national functions and the devolved functions are followed by funds on a pro-rata basis from the shareable national revenue,” said Osoi, the CAF autonomy who also is Kajiado’s County Assembly Speaker.
