The Senate Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources has taken action regarding the stalled Ksh24.8 million Changara Water Pan project, summoning key officials to provide explanations.
Those summoned include the World Bank Country Director, Busia Governor Paul Otuoma, the Director-General of the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority, Patrick Wanjiku, and the CEO of the Ethics and Anti-graft Commission (EACC), Abdi Ahmed. "The purpose of this letter is to invite you to a meeting of the Committee scheduled to be held on Thursday, May 22.
The Committee is presently considering a Petition on the Changara Water Pan, a World Bank-funded project in Busia County," the letter read in part.
The project, meant to provide water to over 5,000 Busia residents, has faced delays, sparking concerns over mismanagement and possible graft.
