The Assumption of Office Committee has denied spending Sh19 million during the swearing-in of Garissa Governor Ali Korane in September. The team says the total spent was Sh4.7 million. A report from the Assumption of Office Committee that was handed over to Korane last week showed the team spent Sh19 million, including committee members allowances. The committee members say they received Sh6 million from the Controller of Budget and only spent Sh4.7 million for the ceremony. The report shows the committee spent a huge amount of money on the renovation of the dais, refreshments and hiring of media services.
