Bungoma county’s Sh1 million ($9,575) wheelbarrows – Kenya
Governor Ken Lusaka of Kenya’s Bungoma revealed that his government had acquired 10 wheelbarrows at a cost of more than Sh1 million ($9,575). That’s Sh109,000 ($1,043) for each of the wheelbarrows.
At first, the governor defended the purchase saying the wheelbarrows were special.
“The information that I am getting from the veterinary department is that these are not the ordinary wheelbarrows that we know. These are wheelbarrows that are made of stainless, non-carcinogenic material and are used in the food industry,” said Mr Lusaka.
