A new report by the Public Accounts Committee has described activities that could come to haunt current and former accounting officers of MDAs. MPs on the committee have urged the DCI and Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission to probe and institute criminal proceedings against officers found culpable. PAC also called on the Treasury to reprimand accounting officers of 16 MDAs who submitted unsupported expenditures of Sh16 billion. In some instances, the committee has recommended accounting officers be surcharged for omissions that have cost taxpayers' money. Ambassador Richard Ekai and Alfred Cheruiyot (currently PS Post Training and Skills Development) were the accounting officers during the period under review.
