The national statistics agency has failed to account for Sh500 million that was spent on allowances for security personnel who oversaw the 2019 population census after police refused to provide expenditure details.
Kenya National Bureau and Statistics (KNBS) director-general Macdonald Obudho told Parliament that it wired Sh500 million to the National Police Service to meet the allowances of 109,700 security officers who participated in the census.
