The Baringo County government is facing scrutiny from the Senate over its alleged illegal collection of 10 percent of funds generated by health facilities, a practice the Senate Health Committee has deemed contrary to national legislation.

• Baringo County was found to be remitting 10 percent of revenue from health facilities to the county headquarters, which contradicts national laws stating these funds must be retained at the facility level.
• Key figures involved include the Senate Health Committee, chaired by Senator Jackson Mandago, and the Baringo County Executive Committee Member for Health, Dr. Solomon Sirma.
• The Senate has ordered Baringo County to immediately cease these remittances and comply with national legislation governing Facility Improvement Financing (FIF) to ensure funds directly benefit service delivery at the source.
