Nandi County Executive spent Sh319.6 million in domestic travel in the 2018-2019 financial year. From questionable payments to ward reps, to delay in implementation of county projects, and to accumulation of pending bills, a recent audit report raises red flags. “Payment of allowances from the funds allocated to the County Executive was irregular since the county assembly had its own budget for travel and subsistence,” the Auditor General noted. “One hundred and ten were ongoing whereas works on the remainder 310 projects were yet to commence,” the audit report says. “In the absence of the Emergency Fund, the County Executive may not be adequately prepared to tackle emergencies that may occur in the county,” the Auditor General said.
