[Boniface Okendo,Standard]Kwale Governor Salim Mvurya has paid parliament a Sh200, 000 fine that was slapped against him for failing to honour summons. “I have paid the personal fine of Sh200, 000 as directed by the committee,” said Mr Mvurya while appearing before the committee to respond to the queries raised by Auditor General Edward Ouko. Yesterday, Governor Mvurya was put on the spot over Sh8.7 million that his administration spent in purchasing tree seedlings during the period under review. Ouko in his report said his audit team could not locate where the seedlings were planted contrary to the claims made by the Governor. We were very excited to do this project but it is unfortunate that it failed,” said Mvurya in response to Prof Ongeri.
