Governor Alfred Mutua has asked Members of Machakos County Assembly to reduce on foreign trips to save taxpayers' money.
Speaking when he addressed the second county assembly, Mutua urged MCAs to spend the funds locally to boost the economy.
"Cut down on foreign trips and instead consider spending that money here in Machakos," Mutua urged.
The governor called on the ward-reps to support and work with his government and concentrate on legislation to drive the county's development agenda.
"As MCAs, you have a critical role to play in ensuring accountability and prudent expenditure of county resources. I also urge you to support my administration in improving the livelihoods of residents," he added.
