A row has erupted between the executive and the assembly over the purchase of sports kits and equipment worth Sh22 million.

A probe report tabled before the assembly on Wednesday by Eddy Kiragu, the chairman for the Committee on Youth Affairs, Sports and Gender, showed that the county did not get value for money.
