Auditor General Edward Ouko has questioned how the Technical University of Mombasa spent Sh4.5 million to buy five TVs. In his 2017-18 report, Ouko exposed what could be one of the stinking rot on how state-funded institutions misuse public money in questionable spendings. This means the university spent close to a million shillings to procure the sets with each costing Sh 910,689. The report also revealed that the university could not account for up to Sh6,300,000 it claimed to have paid out as gratuities to staff. The report tabled by National Assembly Majority leader Aden Duale also showed the state-funded university overspent on personal emoluments with a record Sh 294 million without any authorisation.
