Busia County Governor Paul Otuoma is facing scrutiny from the Senate County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC) for failing to discipline staff over a Ksh 176 million audit discrepancy. The committee, led by Chair Senator Moses Kajwang', announced it would involve the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) due to the governor's non-compliance with earlier directives.

• The Ksh 176 million discrepancy includes expenses like Ksh 16.5 million for domestic travel, Ksh 38 million for foreign travel, and unaccounted payments of Ksh 18.5 million to a tours and travel firm.
• Governor Otuoma was given 60 days in March to take administrative action against non-compliant officers, but failed to provide a status report by his October 7 appearance.
• The Auditor General Nancy Gathungu flagged various unsupported expenditures, including Ksh 146 million for hospitality services and Ksh 119 million in manual payroll payments for 47 employees over 60 years.
