Bomet County On The Spot ‘Holed’ Audit, Stalled Projects
On Thursday, January 29, the Senate County Public Investment Committee questioned the Bomet County Executive about significant financial and service delivery problems that were brought up in the Auditor-General’s 2024–2025 report.

Bomet Senator Wakili Hillary Sigei described why the Senate takes such supervision seriously in a statement posted on X on Thursday, January 29, 2026.

She connected financial infractions to actual repercussions for citizens.
“Today, the Senate County Public Investment Committee sat with the Bomet County Executive to confront serious audit issues raised by the Auditor-General for the 2024/2025 financial year,” Sigei wrote.
According to Senator Sigei, the issues found affect the public directly and go beyond bureaucracy.
Additionally, he emphasized that oversight is supposed to guarantee that every shilling fulfills its intended goal and that locals see observable advantages.
“Oversight is not about noise. It is about ensuring that every shilling sent to Bomet works for the people of Bomet,” he wrote.
“Health facilities must have staff and equipment. Urban funds must build functioning towns. Water and sanitation services must reach households. That is the standard.”

Senator Sigei emphasized that development is impossible without appropriate financial discipline and cautioned that the Senate would continue to monitor corrective efforts.
“The Senate will continue to push for answers, documentation and corrective action,” Sigei wrote.
“Accountability is not optional. And development cannot grow where financial discipline is missing.”
Adding, “Bomet deserves better systems, better service delivery, and leadership that treats public funds with the seriousness it deserves.”
