Laikipia Governor Joshua Irungu has sparked debate in the Senate after publicly opposing a directive by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) requiring counties to construct official residences for governors.

Governor Irungu raised the objections while appearing before the County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC) to defend Laikipia County’s revenue and expenditure accounts for the 2024/25 financial year, arguing that the expenditure was unjustified given the hardships faced by residents in rural counties.
