Payment vouchers for Sh15.2 billion spent on President Uhuru Kenyatta’s flagship free laptops programme cannot be traced, Auditor-General Edward Ouko has said in a report that raises serious queries on how cash was spent in the massive project intended to digitise learning in public schools.
A further Sh603 million was spent on laptops that had factory defects, says Mr Ouko in an adverse opinion on the Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) Authority, the agency charged with implementing the programme.
