In the last financial year there were complains of some beneficiaries allocated more than three times.

Parashina accepted that there were such mistakes stating they will not be able to reverse the money since it has already been sent to the institutions.

“We receive the list from the MCAs with reasons why they gave the individuals and minutes of the meetings, they have the final say, they know the beneficiaries since they do the vetting,” he said.

County Government had released sh 40 million out ofsh 80 Million allocated in the 2018/2019 Financial Year.
