Similar to the State House in Mombasa and Nairobi, state lodges are official residences across the country that host the President when visiting a particular area.
Notably, some of the residences were completed last year. For instance, the Bungoma State Lodge was constructed last year ahead of the Madaraka Day celebrations.
The Kwale State Lodge was also constructed last year as the county hosted the 2024 Mashujaa Day celebrations.
Following their gazettment of the state lodges, the two residences will be allocated money for maintenance works just like the others.
Appropriate security personnel are also expected to be deployed to the residences.
