There have been complaints by civil society groups in the last few days claiming that Bungoma County Government spent Sh148 million to host Madaraka Day celebrations, an event that should be funded by the national government.
The funds allocated for what many consider the most outstanding Madaraka Day celebrations ever, were specifically earmarked for purposes of lifting the county's standing and were used for that purpose. No other essential services were compromised. The plan and its funding were all cleared by the County Assembly of Bungoma.
