Senate has recommended that Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) opens an investigation into suspected procurement malpractices in Garissa County.

Senate’s County Public Accounts and Investment Committee chaired by Moses Kajwang’ (Homa Bay) said there was a breach of Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act in nearly every procurement done by the county and that this might have occasioned loss of public funds.
