We have failed as committee chairs because once we approve monies to ministries, we do not monitor disbursements. These were the words of Kieni MP Kanini Kega during a presentation in Nairobi on Wednesday. "...We only wait for audits, but that will be too late if any monies have been misappropriated," he said. Kega noted that a member of his committee had been given money meant for the elderly under the Inua Jamii programme. More than one million beneficiaries receive between Sh4,000 and Sh8,000 each from the state to cushion them against the effects of the coronavirus.
