Works for the construction of county headquarters in Tharaka Nithi, Tana River, Nyandarua and Isiolo counties worth Sh2.1 billion have stalled owing to changes in the initial designs and location.

This has affected some of the projects according to the Auditor General’s report on national government ministries, departments and agencies for the year 2023/24.

The report also details conflicts between the State Department for Public Works, the projects’ overseeing agency, counties, and contractors that contributed to the delays. None of the counties’ headquarters under construction is more than 60 per cent complete despite extensions for some projects.
