Auditor-General Nancy Gathungu has questioned the disbursement of some Sh5.03 billion to various ministries from the Contingencies Fund for expenditure that was non-urgent, unnecessary, and in some cases payment for events that had long passed.
In the latest report for the financial year ended June 2024, the Auditor-General has flagged a Sh3.8 billion expenditure return from the State Department for arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) that was irregularly disbursed from the fund.
