Audit reveals larger pay for Uhuru, Ruto

The total amount of money paid to President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy, William Ruto, in salaries and benefits for the year to June 2016 was four times that set by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC), Auditor-Geneal Edward Ouko says.

Mr Ouko says a trail of pay transactions for the Office of the President under the Consolidated Fund Services shows Sh148 million instead of Sh36.6 million in line with the payroll data.
