The government irregularly transferred Sh2.3 billion from a dedicated fund reserved for payment of subscription fees to the African Union (AU) and other international bodies, breaching a legal provision that bars any other use for the fund.

Disclosures by Auditor General Nancy Gathungu for the year ended June 2024 indicate that documentation to support the approval of the transfer to the exchequer was not provided for audit, concluding that the accuracy and regularity of the payment could not be confirmed.
