Auditor-General Nancy Gathungu has questioned the accuracy of Sh8.43 billion third-party deposits to the Judiciary after it emerged that part of the amount is still held by ex-Treasury employees while some former court workers had pilfered portions of the collections.

The Auditor-General said Sh352.9 million linked to 72 court stations was held by former district treasuries and had not been transferred back to the Judiciary despite gaining independence in 2010 under today's Constitution.
