The Public Accounts Committee of the National Assembly has directed the Auditor General to conduct a special audit into the Sh2.8 billion purported to have been paid by the National Lands Commission (NLC) as compensation for land for construction of the standard gauge railway (SGR).

The committee chairman, Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja), said that Edward Ouko's office is required to probe the payments and furnish a report to the MPs within 60 days.
