Bungoma Governor Kenneth Lusaka has been put on the spot by the Senate over his administration's failure to remit Sh549 million gratuity owed to former employees of the County Government, which was deducted from their salaries

Lusaka, who appeared before the Senate County Public Accounts Committee, chaired by Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang, had a difficult time explaining why this was not honoured with Senators saying that it was sad that those who served the county were now suffering.
