The Kenya Forest Service (KFS) cannot account for millions of shillings spent without documentation, even as it overshot its budget by nearly Sh500 million, an audit report has revealed. 

Auditor-General Edward Ouko says the integrity of the KFS’s financial statements is questionable given wide-ranging irregularities such as unauthorised sharing of bank accounts by top officials, unsupported payments and manipulation of numbers through the information technology (IT) system.
