MPs Put Treasury on the Spot Over Sh67.9 Billion Equalisation Fund Arrears

Members of the National Assembly have raised concerns over the slow disbursement and implementation of projects funded through the Equalisation Fund, with MPs from marginalised areas demanding faster release of funds and stronger accountability. The concerns were raised by Tiaty MP William Kamket and Samburu West MP Naisula Lesuuda after National Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi disclosed that cumulative receipts into the Equalisation Fund stood at Sh22.42 billion against a constitutional entitlement of Sh90.34 billion.

This leaves outstanding arrears of Sh67.92 billion, representing 75.2 per cent of the total entitlement.
