The Housing Department is on the spot over inconsistencies in the amount of rental income collected, raising suspicion that part of the cash may have been misappropriated.
The latest audit shows that rent income from State-owned housing units rose by Sh103.5 million in the year to June 2019 compared with a decline of Sh93 million in the previous year when it reported Sh156.3 million. The 2018 income was a decrease from the Sh249.6 million banked the previous year.
