Bomet Governor Hillary Barchok has disputed the pending bills figures from the National Treasury, saying they (figures) are erroneous and are meant to paint Bomet in bad light.

Speaking during an exclusive interview with KTN News, Barchok said the actual figure is Sh400 million which is above the 50 per cent threshold put by Treasury and not the Sh850 million in the recently released report.
