Serious gaps“No authority for the supplementary expenditure was sought from the county assembly, which is contrary to the law,” said Ouko. He revealed a review of the internal controls systems for the issuance of clamps and release of clamped vehicles under the revenue enforcement department revealed serious gaps. For example, the clamping systems reflect 27,358 as having been clamped for non-payment of parking fees in the year under review. However, 10,672 vehicles representing 39 per cent of the number of vehicles clamped were released without payment or the requisite approval. For instance, there is no system for monitoring field officers' activity on the clamped vehicles whether paid or not,” he said.
