The Kiambu County Assembly has withheld approval of a supplementary budget over disagreements with the county executive on how development funds should be allocated across wards.

Assembly members argue the executive's proposed allocation favors specific wards disproportionately, while the executive maintains the allocation reflects prioritized, ongoing projects.

Where Talks Stand

A mediation committee comprising members from both sides has been formed, with county officials expressing hope for resolution before the next budget cycle deadline.
