Kilifi spent Sh3.4b on illegal assets: Auditor GeneralThe Auditor General has questioned the process the Kilifi county government used to acquire Sh3.4 billion worth of assets in the 2017/18 financial year. In a report, Auditor General Edward Ouko (pictured) says most of the assets were acquired through illegal deals and paid for even before the tender process for their acquisition was completed. The report also asserts that the county spent Sh0.6 billion on incomplete or non-existent projects. Specifically, the report questions the payment of Sh7.9 million for the construction of Aza-Moyo Social Hall. Ouko also reveals that in April 2018, the Executive illegally spent about Sh2.7 million on MCAs allowances for attending a devolution conference in Kakamega.
