Senators, pursuant to Standing Order Nos. 220(1)(a) and 225(2)(b), I hereby report to the Senate that the Petition has been submitted through the Clerk by five residents of Bungoma County concerning corruption, breach of Public Finance Management (PFM) laws and regulations and other grievances against the County Government of Bungoma. In summary, the petitioners state as follows:- (a) That the County Government of Bungoma has since 2013 failed to prudently use the resources allocated to the county as well as revenues generated within the county, thus, accruing debts of close to Kshs3 billion as at the end of 2014/2015 Financial Year. (b) That Bungoma County Government presides over rampant misappropriation, misuse and misallocation of funds, corrupt practices, spending beyond budgetary allocation, impunity and breach of the Public Finance Management and Procurement Laws and Regulations in the County. The particulars of these averments are detailed in the Petition. The petitioners, therefore, pray that the Senate investigates these matter and makes appropriate recommendations, thereon, to address the petitioners’ grievances. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
