Nyakang’o: Homa Bay County has 274 bank accounts, not 558

The Office of the Controller of Budget Dr. Margaret Nyakang’o has clarified that the county government of Homa Bay has been operating 274 bank accounts and not the 558 accounts reported in its annual county governments budget implementation review report for the financila year 2024/25. The clarification is in apparent response to a letter from the Homa Bay County finance executive who sought to set the record straight. In a letter written in response to the Homa Bay County Chief Executive Member for Finance and Economic Planning Solomon Obiero, the Controller of Budget regretted the figures, which had attributed the extra numbers to the level 1 health structures in the county which do not operate any bank accounts.
