The Homa Bay County Assembly is probing the detention of three county rescue vehicles at the port of Mombasa.
The two, an ambulance and two fire engines were donated by a charitable organization in Britain three months ago.
However, according to county Speaker Evans Marieba, they are yet to arrive in the county, which has since seen the county Disaster Management Committee travel to Mombasa to establish what could have transpired.
In a report on Thursday, Marieba said that the vehicles are being detained by a logistics company whose two containers are yet to be returned by the county after they were used to transport excavators to Homa Bay in 2017.
“We saw the fire engines and ambulance in Mombasa. The company is withholding them until the county replaces the containers worth Sh5 million,” reads the committee report.
House Majority Leader Walter Muok said that the house will summon members of the executive to answer to why the donation is yet to arrive in the county.
This is even as County Secretary Isaiah Ogwe said that the county had released the containers to be returned to the logistic company, though they are yet to arrive.
This comes only a week after the county was brought under tough questioning after a fire broke out at the county commissioner's house in Homa Town.
