Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has been asked to investigate allegations of embezzlement of millions of shillings in the construction of Bungoma County headquarters.

Area Senator David Wakoli wants the alleged irregular payment of Sh136 million towards the construction of the stalled facility because it raises concerns over possible misuse of public funds.

He questioned how the county government approved and released millions of shillings to the contractor despite the project remaining incomplete more than two years after its launch.
