President Ruto Accused of Micromanaging Bill Payments, Delaying Funds to Counties

Embakasi North MP alleges President Ruto micromanages pending bill payments. Embakasi North MP Hakuna has made serious allegations against President William Ruto, claiming the president is personally involved in deciding who gets paid from pending bills. Hakuna claims President Ruto calls the Treasury Principal Secretary (PS) every morning to receive lists of those to be paid, a practice he says is hindering the procurement processes of various ministries. "The president calls the Treasury PS every morning to get lists of who should be paid from pending bills," Hakuna stated in a recent video. This micromanagement, according to Hakuna, is causing significant delays in payments to MCAs and counties, leading to financial difficulties. The MP's claims are serious, raising questions about transparency and efficiency in government spending. Further investigation is needed to verify these allegations and determine their impact on public finances.
