Sh40 million Kisumu Governor’s house tender cancelledThe County Government of Kisumu has cancelled and re-tendered the Sh40 million for the construction of the governor’s new official residence. But the County authorities cancelled the tender again even after submissions were made on grounds that those who applied did not meet the set qualification threshold. Sources at the County Authorities also disclosed that some contractors had prior history of poor workmanship in the past and so the Authorities feared giving them jobs. The governor’s residence will cost Sh40 million, the amount being six times less than the initial Sh250 million earmarked for the project in 2018, until it was revised and capped. The governor’s residence funds have been factored in this year’s budget.
