Wajir MCAs have written to the DPP, Anti-corruption agency and DCI to investigate the state of pending bills in the county following what they describe as false presentation of facts to the Controller of Budget (CoB). The MCAs said executives presented pending bills worth Sh3.06 billion, only to declare Sh344 million as pending to the CoB. The ad hoc committee alleged county Treasury officials have colluded to present false statements on the amount in pending bills. The MCAs want the EACC, DPP and DCI to conduct an audit on pending bills for the financial years 2017-18 and 2018-19. The MCAs said Abdi appeared to be clueless about the running of the county, and demanded that the Executive stop new projects until all pending bills are paid.
