Migori Governor Ochilo Ayacko has defended his administration's decision not to pay salaries for the past two months, attributing the delay to administrative processes involving the Office of the Controller of Budget. Speaking to a local TV station, Ayacko claimed that the county had already received funds for July and August but cannot access them due to bureaucratic hurdles.
The governor explained that the county's budget was unanimously approved by the Migori assembly in the last week of June, but the approval process took about three weeks. Ayacko emphasized that the funds remained idle in the county's Central Bank account and that the county could face indefinite delays if such processes are not streamlined.
He called for legislative changes to establish a clear timeline for the Controller of Budget's approval process to prevent it from becoming an obstacle to implementing county budgets and legislations.
