County assemblies continue to spend millions on official residences for governors, deputy governors and speakers, disregarding a directive by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission.

SRC in a Gazette Notice of March 1, 2013 advised that the state should provide official residence for the president, the Chief Justice, governors and speakers of national and county assemblies.
