Kisumu County Assembly Speaker; Onyango Oloo supports the buying of seats that will cost Ksh 245000 each. The members of county assembly, including the Speaker, Clerk, Senator and Governor are among those who will get the posh seats.
Oloo said that the contract was given to Kodiaga Main Prison by the preceding assembly leadership. He also rubbished the claims that buying of the seats was a plan to steal money from taxpayers.
Kenyans have however taken to twitter and other social media platforms to raise concerns and doubt over the expenditure that amounts to 11.5million.

254k for ONLY one seat?? Are the seats coming with a piece of land or what? 11m will go along way in developing the county in terms of education, health, infrastructure etc. Sitting on a seat worth more than their basic salary…madness

Kisumu County manenos….
This poorly made Kisumu County Assembly seat cost sh245,000 and the County Speaker Onyango Oloo (former TNA Secretary General) says its worth it. Oloo transfered Jubilee’s thievery to Kisumu County. #TanoTERROR pic.twitter.com/18uMhYxpfO
