Nandi Finance Minister Under Fire

Nandi County Executive for Finance Alfred Lagat was on the defensive yesterday when MCAs accused him of disrespecting them by refusing to explain the usage of County funds despite being summoned at least six times.

The reading of the Sh8.1 County budget was delayed for hours as the MCAs demanded that Speaker Joshua Kiptoo ejects Lagat from the Assembly.

Finally Kiptoo decided that the budget reading was an important exercise that had to continue and refused to order Lagat out of the house.
