A Sh740 million county headquarters in Turkana, intended to house key government departments, remains largely unused a year after its official handover, raising concerns over the utilization of public funds.

• The project, which began in 2015, was handed over on July 28, 2025, after prolonged delays and Senate intervention.
• Key officials, including Governor Jeremiah Lomorukai, and county departments have yet to move into the four-storey complex in Lodwar.
• Construction costs escalated, and completion was hampered by issues with plumbing and electrical works, with the county having paid Sh740,724,014 to date.
