One Patrick Kilonzo told the governor that "@Governor Mutua, you should have waited for the Supreme Court ruling before assenting to the budget, you never know."
Governor Mutua said that the budget is tailored to address the issues facing the people. He said that it will actualise his push for Maendeleo Chap Chap.
