In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) State the legal basis for anchoring in law the Office of the Governor’s Spouse, through the Kakamega County Office of the Governor’s Spouse Bill 2023. (2) Cause the Auditor-General to undertake an audit of the powers of the County Assembly of Kakamega to establish the purported office of the Governor’s wife and processes used to create the said office. (3) Probe the possible cases of abuse of this Constitution and other laws by the county governors in creating unnecessary offices in an already bloated payroll. (4) State the extent of the implementation of the said law establishing the Office of the Governor’s Spouse in Kakamega County. I thank you."
