Nakuru Senator Tabitha Karanja has raised the red flag over the rising pending bills in the county in the last two years against unexplained expenditure by the executive.

The senator claimed that the pending bills had risen from Sh840 million when the previous regime left office to Sh1.2 billion, even as revenue collection dropped in the same period.
