The national government has prioritised disbursements for roads, the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) and food security initiatives, amid cash challenges that saw just Sh129.8 billion put to development in the first six months of the current fiscal year.

The latest statement of exchequer shows that in the half year to December, 70 percent of the cash released to fund the national government’s development projects went to seven State departments.
