The cash amounting to Sh1.3 billion was flagged by Auditor General Nancy Gathungu in her latest review of the entity’s spending. “In the circumstance, the project management was in breach of the law,” Gathungu said in the report tabled in Parliament. GDC has further been reprimanded for failing to open and operate a project bank account as required by section 76 of the PFM regulations. For the case of the GDC’s Menengai project, the audit revealed that the project funds were commingled with funds for the company’s general operations. The auditor general further flagged a Sh418.7 million pending bills, being Sh389 million due to suppliers and Sh29 million due to staff—mostly temporary employees.
