The government has commissioned two additional State Lodges in Bungoma and Kwale to facilitate President William Ruto's stay during his visits across the country.
In a gazette notice, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen announced that the official residences of the Bungoma and Kwale County Commissioners would now serve as State Lodges, bringing the total number across the country to nine. "It is notified for the general information of the public that the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration declares the Bungoma County Commissioner and Kwale County Commissioner's official residences as State Lodges," the notice read.
State Lodges in Kenya are official government residences or properties designated for use by the President and senior government officials during official functions, retreats, or travels.
These lodges are strategically located in various regions and are typically maintained by the government, specifically the State House Comptroller's office.
