Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero was on Wednesday put on the spot for failing to account for revenue collections worth more than Sh10 billion. Only Sh1 billion out of the Sh11 billion of the county revenue was deposited in the County Revenue Fund account, according to the Senate County Public Accounts and Investment Committee. “Don’t think the hands of the Senate are tied when it comes to a county’s own revenue. If so, why is this matter before the Senate committee?” Senator Paul Njoroge (Nominated) asked. The auditor’s report indicated that the county had a weak internal control system on revenue collection and accountability.
