Kericho Governor Erick Mutai has been put on the spot after Senators uncovered that the Kericho municipality, which was formed as far back as 1902, only exists on paper.
While appearing before the Senate County Public Investments & Special Funds Committee, the dysfunction of the municipality and illegal waivers of over Ksh13 million were revealed.
This is despite the municipality having 252 approved positions, a situation that the senators claimed made the municipality function independently from county control.
According to the Committee Chair, Senator Godfrey Osotsi, the situation basically meant that the Kericho municipality only exists on paper, as it cannot function with just one employee.
