Sources within the county government intimate that Ms. Momanyi, who was frustrated over budget standoff, had written resignation letter even though she disputed.

But Nyagarama summoned the embattled County Executive Committee member to his Tente home where he discussed the matter with her.

According to a source privy to the meeting, Nyagarama persuaded the minister to retract the decision adding that he would ready to solve the standoff.

"She held a meeting with the governor and they all agreed that resignation was not important. They agreed that she continues executing her duties," said the source.
