Nandi Governor Stephen Sang has said more than Sh200 million was properly spent on Covid-19, following questions raised by Auditor General Nancy Gathungu and the county assembly. The county had received Sh58.4 million from the national government for payment of allowances to front line workers. A total of 1,424 front line workers were paid, while others are yet to receive their money. The auditors had also queried why the county budgeted Sh9 million for purchase of PPE but ended up spending about Sh15 million. The assembly has recommended that four top officials of the Nandi county government including the health and finance executives be suspended from duty over alleged misuse of the Covid-19 funds.
