Mr. Speaker, Sir, the good news is that Tana River County Council is not one of the defaulting local authorities. It has been doing a very good job in ensuring that the issues of debt resolutions or penalties do not come their way. I want to commend them for that.

A circular will be issued from the Ministry reminding them that the election dates shall ...
