Residents of Kakamega County have raised concerns over stalled projects, holding the County Executive and Assembly accountable. During a public hearing on the Kakamega County Annual Development Plan (ADP) for 2026/2027, they expressed frustration over delays in project completion, some lasting over five years, which they claim has deprived them of essential services.

They criticized the governor and Members of County Assembly (MCAs) for failing to fulfill promises and for not exercising proper oversight. The Senate Standing Committee on Devolution and Inter-governmental Relations has also raised issues regarding stalled projects, including Bukhungu stadium and the Kakamega County Teaching and Referral Hospital. The hospital, however, is set to be completed by the National government with supervision from the Kenya Defense Forces, expected within six months.
