 Members of the County Assembly(MCAs) resumed business after a false start yesterday that was caused by a standoff over bursary budget.
However a majority of Wiper MCAs were missing during the session that lasted a little over 45 minutes and adjourned after establishing the House Business Committee. 
The tiff over bursary budget, according to sources, arises from a decision by the executive to slice it by a half- from Kes. 80m as proposed by the MCAs to Kes 40m. No agreement has been reached over the impasse. 
The session was presided over by Assembly Speaker Anne Kiusya. They resumed their regular Plenary sittings from a long recess,  marking the beginning of the Second Session of the Third Assembly.
