Key Highlights

Nandi Governor Stephen Sang is facing scrutiny from the Senate County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC) over the county's unsustainable wage bill and questionable expenditure on road maintenance and a stalled industrial park project.

  • The Nandi County wage bill consumed 44 percent of its Sh6.4 billion revenue in FY 2024/2025, exceeding the 35 percent legal threshold.
  • Governor Sang attributed the high wage bill to the health sector's expansion for Universal Health Coverage and salary reviews by the Salary and Remuneration Commission (SRC).
  • Concerns were also raised about Sh651 million spent on road maintenance with inadequate documentation and a Sh520 million County Aggregation Industrial Park (CAIP) project that is significantly delayed.
