Senators have censured the Kajiado County government over the payment of Sh390,000 in sitting allowance to county committee members from the emergency kitty.

The lawmakers also queried the doubled payment for hotel services of Sh500,000 as documented in Auditor General Edward Ouko’s audit report. They directed that the over-payment be recovered.
