The governors’ offices of Laikipia, Nairobi City and Lamu counties were the most expensive to run last year, an analysis has shown. Data from the office of the Controller of Budget shows the three counties spent the biggest proportions of their total expenditures running their governors’ office. Laikipia and Nairobi were followed by Homa Bay and Trans Nzoia counties, which spent 11 per cent of their total expenditure on the offices of their governors. Kisumu County and Tana River came fifth and sixth, respectively, after their governors spent 10 per cent of their total expenditure on running their offices. Other top spending offices of governors include Samburu (nine per cent), Kirinyaga (eight per cent) and Bomet (seven per cent), which completed the list of the top 10 most expensive offices of governors.
