Mr Wafula also questioned the government’s official death toll. According to Mr Jacob Omondi, a survivor, some victims' names were deliberately omitted from the list. "Whoever prepared the list included the names of their friends instead of the exact names of the victims," he explained. "The county government promised us Sh280,000 in donations that were never delivered," Mr Owino told the Nation. Mr Owino says he received Sh131,000 from the payroll he issued, which was part of his Sh2 million contribution.
