Kakamega County Residents Demand Accountability for Stalled Development Projects
Residents of Kakamega County are demanding accountability from local officials over stalled development projects, which have left them without essential services for over five years. During a public hearing on the 2026/2027 Annual Development Plan, they criticized the governor and Members of County Assembly for unmet promises and inadequate oversight. The Senate Standing Committee has also highlighted issues with delayed projects, including the Bukhungu stadium and the Kakamega County Teaching and Referral Hospital, which is now expected to be completed by the National government within six months under military supervision.

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.
