Among the issues raised by the petitioner are the following:- (a) THAT, the Makueni County Government has on several instances flouted public procurement laws by failing to advertise tenders or failing to award tenders to the lowest bidders for supply of goods and services to the County Government; (b) THAT, the Makueni County Government has allocated and spent funds towards projects not falling within its mandate and further, without obtaining approvals for such projects from the Makueni County Assembly or other constitutional bodies. An example is the construction of a residence for the Deputy Governor while the Salaries and Remuneration Commission had issued a circular in 2013 to the effect that only the governor and the County Assembly speaker are entitled to such a benefit. (c) THAT, the Governor of Makueni County has shown undue favouritism and nepotism in recruitment, assignment of duties, promotion and remuneration of staff working at the County Executive, contrary to Articles 27 and 73 of the Constitution and Sections 59, 60 and 62 of the County Government’s Act; and"
