Branding public projects with images of governors and MCAs

← Back to Petitions

9 Oct 2024 Petitioner: Mr. Laban Omusundi Senate 13th Reported on

Prayer

THAT, county funded projects are emblazoned with portraits, images and names of governors and MCAs. This situation has been enabling political leaders in the counties to use publicly funded projects to promote and brand themselves for personal political gains without adequate checks and balances. THAT Article 231(4) of the Constitution disallows the use of individual portraits on currency, but allows images that depict or symbolise Kenya or an aspect of Kenya. This principle should also be applied to public projects. THAT the County Government vehicles have been used for personal purposes by political leaders and other county staff.
