Council of Governors has warned of a serious cash crisis in the counties following a system breakdown of the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS).
In a statement on Wednesday, Council of Governors chairperson Peter Munya said that the system collapsed two days ago, and counties have been having challenges in accessing finances.
"The Integrated Financial management Information System, (IFMIS) which has been marred with various challenges including mishandling of passwords and misappropriation of public funds, has not been functioning for the last two days," he said.
The Meru governor called for the immediate restoration of the system, to ensure efficient service delivery in the counties.
"What we do not understand is whether the system breakdown is by design or by default. Something sinister could be going on, then county leaders would be blamed for any inconsistencies that would arise. We demand that appropriate actions be taken to restore the system," he said.
