Cash hitch has forced the Treasury to advance some county governments Sh17.9 billion to pay salaries after the Senate delayed to approve a schedule for release of money from the government’s main account to the devolved units.

The Treasury secretary Henry Rotich said the County Allocation of Revenue Act (CARA) 2017 was assented to by the President but the approval of the disbursements schedule was delayed.
