Governor Lusaka Press Unit\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bungoma Governor Kenneth Lusaka has assured a Senate watchdog committee on Monday that his administration’s management of 352 bank accounts complies with legal requirements, calling for an audit.<\/p>\n

Speaking before the Senate Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations, Lusaka explained that these accounts were established with the approval of the Controller of Budget and the Central Bank of Kenya.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI am confirming that we have the 352 bank accounts. But most of the accounts belong to Vocational Training Centres (VTCs) and health facilities and dispensaries in the county,\u201d Lusaka stated during his appearance before the Wajir Senator Abbas Mohamed-led committee, calling for an audit.<\/p>\n

While giving the breakdown of the bank accounts, the county chief revealed that VTCs in the county have 152 accounts, while health facilities have 146.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe rest of the bank accounts according to the County Chief belong to Established Public Funds (10), Special Purpose (9) Project Management (1), Sub County Imprest (9), Mabanga Operation (19), Level 4&5 Hospitals (19, Own Source Revenue Collection (4).<\/p>\n

\u201cOur health facilities receive funds directly from donors, which require them to maintain individual separate accounts. These accounts are fully audited and included in our quarterly financial statements,\u201d Lusaka explained.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Senator Mohamed, chair of the committee, requested additional information, including the names of individuals managing the accounts.
\n\u201cWe need a detailed report on the accounts within three weeks,\u201d Senator Mohamed directed.<\/p>\n

The committee chairperson directed the county chief to furnish the house committee with more information on the accounts, including names of the individuals managing the accounts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need the detailed report on the accounts within 3 weeks,\u201d said Senator Mohamed.<\/p>\n
