Kisii Ward Representatives have taken issue with Governor Simba Arati's spending on transforming the former Nyambera dumpsite into a public park, accusing him of spending an unreported Sh120 million. The county government, however, only spent Sh45 million on the inauguration of the Etaya Governor’s Park.
