Kenya’s largest referral health facility, Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), lost more than Sh1.5 billion in a series of fraudulent transactions that were dominated by illegal staff compensation and diversion of its funds at the parent ministry.
A damning Ministry of Health internal audit report seen by the Business Daily shows the money was lost in the 2014/15 and 2015/16 fiscal years, with the auditors saying more may have been lost through improper accounting and careless debt management.
