The Bungoma County Government is facing renewed scrutiny from the Senate County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC) over questionable expenditures, including Ksh.3.6 million for a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in September 2019. The committee also raised concerns about serious defects and stalled works at the Masinde Muliro Stadium project.

• CPAC Chairperson Moses Kajwang’ questioned the expenditure of Ksh.3.6 million for a Christmas tree event held months before December, calling the funds "unaccounted for."
• Governor Ken Lusaka sought to distance himself from the 2019 audit query, stating the expenditure predates his current term.
• An audit inspection in July 2025 reportedly found the Masinde Muliro Stadium project, claimed to be 95 per cent complete, had stalled for over a year with structural defects.
• The matter of the Christmas tree expenditure is recommended for referral to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC).
