Senators lock horns with MPs over Sh800m fund
The Vice Chair of the Senate Finance and Budget Maureen Tabitha Mutinda during a past joint meeting with National Assembly Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning.
Senators are protesting a proposed reduction of Sh800 million on funds meant for marginalised regions in the country by their National Assembly counterparts.
The standoff comes after Members of Parliament (MPs) approved the reduction of the equalisation fund from Sh10.8 billion passed by the Senate to Sh10 billion during the consideration of the Equalisation Appropriation Bill 2023.
