The current political stalemate is hurting the country's economy, Lamu leaders have cautioned.
Addressing journalists in Lamu, Senator Anwar Loitiptip and Women Representative Ruwenda Obbo said the political crisis has negatively affected development.
"The unpredictable political situation has made it impossible for the National Assembly and the Senate to move the county plans," said Obbo.
Senator Loitiptip observed that political climate, especially after the nullification of August 8 election by the Supreme Court and campaigns ahead of repeat presidential poll, has led to delay in allocation of funds to the devolved units.
"It is unfortunate that counties are yet to receive their budget allocations which have made many functions to stop or slow down," she lamented.
The politicians called on Jubilee and Opposition's NASA Coalition to drop their hardline positions and end the current political state.
"Kenyans are suffering regardless of their political affiliations. Both President Uhuru Kenyatta and Opposition leader Raila Odinga should strive to solve the crisis before the country problems worsen," they added.
