Governor Sakaja’s Nairobi county is among 10 other counties that did not spend on any developments in the first quarter of the 2023 financial year according to the controller of budget Margaret Nyakang’o.

During the timeframe being considered, the 47 devolved counties spent KES 60.3 billion on salaries and allowances and a paltry KES 6.9 billion on development which amounts to only 3.7 per cent of the total allocation.

Nairobi county is one of the counties that is on the Controller of Budget’s radar for spending KES 0 on development despite an allocation of KES 14 billion.

The controller of budget broke down Nairobi’s expenditure as follows; Domestic Travel-KES 176.8, Foreign travel-KES 11.9M , Fuel-KES 51.8M , Hospitality- KES 28M , Development Expenditure- 0%

According to the treasury-based office, a huge chunk of the monies were used to pay salaries and allowances as well as financing county operations and maintenance.

Other counties that also recorded zero development include, Embu, Homa Bay, Kericho, Kilifi, Machakos, Samburu, Turkana, Wajir and West Pokot.

Dr Margaret Nyakang’o, however, noted Narok, Vihiga and Nyamira counties recorded the highest proportion of development expenditure to their approved annual development budgets.
