The county government has dismissed allegations that it spent Sh10 million on the recent bodaboda's trip to Rwanda to learn how to improve business.
The county's Education Chief Officer Samuel Okuro on Saturday said that the county only spent Sh2.7 million.
According to Okuro, they traveled by hired buses and not by air as alleged.
"The operators learnt a lot about security and safety," he said.
On his part, Governor Jack Ranguma said that they saw the need to make the operators appreciate the need to be orderly in the course of their operations.
On his arrival from Rwanda on Saturday, the Kisumu bodaboda association chairman Nelson Odire accused those politicizing the trip saying that not everybody could be accommodated.
Odire said they first asked for the trip in 2014 and that he is happy that they finally went.
"Not everyone went for the trip and therefore, we have asked the governor and the education department to ensure we have forums in the wards to ensure we educate members who did not go," Odire said.
112 people went for the trip including two MCAs, three traffic police bosses in the county together with other county officials.
A total of 95 bodaboda operators went for the trip.
