Siaya, Nakuru and Nyandarua counties spent less than 10 percent of their planned annual development budget in the first nine months of 2018/19 fiscal year, hurting momentum of economic activity and job creation for a growing unemployed graduate youth population.
Statistics by the Controller of Budget Office (CoB) indicate that Siaya spent Sh179.3 million of its development budget of Sh3.7 billion, translating to an absorption rate of five per cent.
