In Migori County Assembly, the auditor has recommended that officials of the County Assembly Public Service Board and members of the County Assembly Tender committee members be surcharged to recover Sh2 million over payment they obtained.

The report reveals that the five CASB members held 94 sittings but overpaid their allowances disregarding guidelines issued by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission.

“The members composed of the chairman, vice-chairman and three other members were paid Sh12,000, Sh10,000 and Sh8,000 instead of Sh6,500, Sh5,200 and Sh3,900, respectively, as stipulated by SRC,” says the report
