The Homa Bay government and assembly have been flouting the law leading to the possible loss of more than Sh300 million, the Auditor General has said. In the 2014-15 Homa Bay county audit, the Auditor General cites numerous instances where the law was broken, concluding that the accuracy of spending in the financial statements could not be ascertained. The Sh342 million includes Sh188.5 million on domestic travel, Sh149 million in "other operating costs", Sh94.9 million in rental of produce assets and Sh11.3 million in hospitality supplies and services. The Homa Bay government could also not provide tender documents, contract agreement or policy documents for the payment of insurance cover services worth Sh8.57 million. The county paid Sh4,927,290 for the construction of changing rooms and VIP toilets at Homa Bay stadium.
