Counties spent Sh8.59 billion on domestic and foreign trips between July and March as luxury spending by the devolved units continues to hurt development.

The Controller of Budget’s report indicates that the counties spent Sh7.15 billion in the same period last year, reflecting a growth of 20 per cent, which is in line with annual double digit growth in trips expenditure since 2013.
