A Senate committee has exposed a financial catastrophe at Bomet Water and Sanitation Company (BOMAWASCO), where employees have gone unpaid for 19 months and the company is now technically insolvent. This comes even as Longisa County Referral Hospital shows significant progress in addressing past audit concerns.

The findings emerged during a field visit by the Senate Committee on Public Investments and Special Funds to Bomet County, a follow-up to their March 28 meeting in Nairobi with county officials over Auditor General reports for the 2023/24 fiscal year.
