Anyone visiting Bomet County Assembly for the first time would be forgiven for thinking they have strayed into a school.
The county’s ward representatives have been conducting business in old buildings dating back to 1953 that were meant for a technical institute that would later be transformed into a secondary school.
St Michael Secondary School was displaced in 1993 to create room for the defunct Bomet municipal council.
Former Mayor Livingstone Kombich said they relocated the school to house councillors after Bomet district was created.
