More than Sh1.2 billion allocated to the Samburu county in 2017-18 was not properly accounted for, according to Auditor General Edward Ouko. The county executive did not provide documents to support Sh157.6 million expenditure, Ouko says, noting that some items were charged to wrong accounts. He says the county incurred unsupported expenditure of Sh36.9 million but there were no payment vouchers and receipts. The Auditor General questions Sh53.4 million expenditure on hospitality, out of which Sh2.6 million was paid to the Council of Governors as rent for the liaison office. The validity of the expenditure could not be confirmed," the Auditor General says.
