Both parties agreed to the allocations that were later forwarded to the Assembly.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting was held after an earlier attempt by the County Assembly to allocate NMS Sh15 billion in April failed after Governor Mike Sonko declined to assent to the appropriations Bill. Instead, Sonko drafted a new Bill to ensure operationalisation of the NMS.\u00a0An MCA intimated to\u00a0<em>The standard<\/em>\u00a0that the Bill has been recalled due to the continued wrangles pitting Speaker Beatrice Elachi and the governor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom my understanding, the Bill was recalled after the assembly poked holes into it.

It is supposed to be forwarded by the Finance executive and not the County Attorney,\u201d stated Mulwa.<\/p>\n<p>Speaker Elachi confirmed the Bill was recalled by the executive after realising it did not follow due process as stipulated by the law.Plenary sittings at City Hall are due to resume on June 2.
