Parliamentary investigations into the possible loss of Sh64 billion through misdeclared imports of edible palm oil has stalled after the National Assembly Committee on Finance and National Planning failed to get testimonies from key officials and entities.

Key challenges include the failed testimony of former Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) boss Humphrey Wattanga, alleged inaction by Treasury Cabinet Secretary (CS) John Mbadi and the committee's inactivity in finalising the report.
