Auditor General Nancy Gathungu has put Kenya Power on the spot over the payment of Sh488.7 million to some eight suppliers without proper documentation, stating value for money could not be confirmed.

Ms Gathungu says in the latest audit report that the committee appointed last December to vet a select long-standing debts recommended the payment of the amount and even introduced one more supplier who was not in the initial list of their vetting.
