Parliament has ordered a forensic audit into the expenditure of Sh15 billion that was spent on the procurement of subsidised fertiliser.

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has given Auditor-General Nancy Gathungu 30 days to comb through the expenditure and table a report after the committee said it has received information about possible fraud, kickbacks, money laundering and corruption in the procurement of the crucial planting material.
