Nyamira County Government is staring at being locked out of donor funding after the National Treasury suspended two World Bank-financed projects following unexplained irregularities in the handling of around Sh22 million.

The cash is part of hundreds of millions extended to the devolved government as conditional grants to aid in the implementation of development works in the Departments of Land, Housing, and Physical Planning, as well as economic empowerment in the agriculture sector.
