Embu Ward Representatives have expressed their anger after theCommission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) omitted their county from the list of beneficiaries of the equalization funds.
The funds are set to be rolled out in the next five years.
According to the MCAs, they were angered after CRA classified the region as rich in resources.
Speaking on Wednesday, the legislators blamed the commission for leaving out the Mbeere region, which according to them, is one of the poorest areas in the county.
They added that CRA had condemned the region to a lifelong deficiency of funds.

"It is utterly disappointing to note that despite the fact that some sub-locations in Embu had spent more than 50 years in poverty, CRA has still not seen the need to factor them among the beneficiaries," said Muminji MCA Newton Kariuk.
"Kariuki, who is also the Assembly Deputy Minority Leader, observed that the marginalized areas did not feature in the place marked for county flagship projects.
