Some constituencies have become avenues for looting of public funds. In many instances, the money allocated by the national government to fund development projects could not be accounted for and in others, there was simply no value for it.
The report of the Auditor-General on National Government-Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) for the year ended June 30, 2017, shows that 13 constituencies could not account for Sh571.7 million.
Some constituencies have become avenues for looting of public funds. In many instances, the money allocated by the national government to fund development projects could not be accounted for and in others, there was simply no value for it.
The report of the Auditor-General on National Government-Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) for the year ended June 30, 2017, shows that 13 constituencies could not account for Sh571.7 million.
With Sh1.36 billion as the accumulative figure for the 13, the absence of Sh571.7 million means that about Sh800 million was spent even though the report says that Kenyans did not get value for some of the money.
Alego Usonga, Suna West, Homabay Town, Bomachoge Chache, Keiyo North, Nyatike, Uriri, Khwisero and Rongo are some of the constituencies that have irregularly used taxpayers’ money. Others are South Mugirango, Nyando, Kuria East and Mbita.
In Mbita constituency renamed Suba North, the payment of Sh63.9 million for the Grading of Kipasi Chief’s camp road cannot be supported.
“Physical verification revealed that no road built by NG-CDF, in Mbita exists in the area,” the report says.
