MEDIA PICKUP: Public forums in Embu County

Public participation, such as on budgets, is not well publicised in Embu, residents have said.

They said invitations are sent to a few hand-picked people, which is why the budget is usually not peoplefriendly.

They spoke in Kiritiri at a forum organised by Fahamu Africa.
