Wilberforce Ottichilo
Wilberforce Ottichilo is the Governor of Vihiga County in Kenya, known for his leadership amidst significant financial challenges within the county. Recently, he faced scrutiny from the Senate regarding the county's alarming Sh1.7 billion in pending bills and the controversial allocation of Sh5 million for a housewarming party for the County Assembly Speaker. During a session with the Senate County Public Accounts Committee, he struggled to justify these expenditures, which were deemed immoral and unjustified by committee members. Ottichilo's administration has been called to account for financial mismanagement, including advancing funds to the County Assembly despite severe budget constraints.
