A watchdog Committee of the Senate has accused Busia Governor Paul Otuoma of doing little to implement the resolutions of the Senate in relation to the financial reports of the county for the 2022/23 financial year.

At the sitting held at the Agricultural Training Centre in Busia town, the County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC) expressed its displeasure with the Governor for failing to take disciplinary action against some of his officers who failed to provide relevant documents to the auditor general in line with the requirements of the Public Audit Act.

The Senate Committee on National Cohesion, Equal Opportunity and Regional Integration has expressed shock over the deplorable state of the Busia One-Stop Border Post, despite the facility generating billions of shillings in revenue annually.

During a fact-finding visit on Tuesday, the Committee led by Chairperson Sen Mohamed Said Chute observed that the border post, which serves as a key trade gateway between Kenya and Uganda, faces severe infrastructural and staffing challenges that have hampered its efficiency.
