Speaker-aligned MCAs in the Machakos County Assembly are facing criticism after allegedly slashing allocations for key development projects and people-centred programmes in the 2026/2027 county budget.
The cuts have raised concern over funding for youth empowerment, bursaries, ECDE feeding programmes and other initiatives directly benefiting residents, with critics accusing the MCAs of undermining Machakos’ development agenda.
