The Auditor General has questioned Sh66 million spending by the Kakamega government to construct the governor’s residence. Ownership documents or title deeds were not presented for audit, the 2016-17 report by Auditor General Edward Ouko shows. The report says the exact location of the governor’s residence is unclear as the contract number CGKK/OG/16/17/002 for the governor’s residence in Lugari differs from information posted on the county government’s website as tender No CGKK/OG/2016/2017/001 for the governor’s residence in Likuyani. The advertisement tender CGKK/OG/16/17/002 indicates the tender documents were placed in the tender box on March 13, 2017, and the bids were to be opened the same day. In the CGKK/OG/2016/2017/001 the tender documents were placed in the tender box on May 18, 2016, and bids were to be opened the same day.
