Friday, February 25, 2022 –Auditor General’s office has pointed out sh 6.9 billion contractual flaws in Nairobi County Government.
Last week, Auditor General Nancy Gathungu, broke down major faulty contracts which had double insurance of tenders as well as variations.
Putting Governor Anne Kananu on the spot during her submission to the county assembly, Ms Gathungu who was dissecting the financial year ended June 30, 2020 told Nairobi County Assembly that there were several questionable financial transactions at City Hall.
In her detailed report, the auditor noted that roads, transport and public works totaling sh 4.67 billion were delayed same to ward development projects valued about sh 418.6 million.
She also revealed that in the fiscal year under review, sh1.8 billion worth of projects were either abandoned, suspended or terminated altogether.
“In their incomplete state, the projects have not yielded the benefits expected of them in spite of public funds totaling sh 6.26 billion spent on their execution,” the auditor said.
On Thursday February 24, Nairobi County Assembly Public Accounts Committee (PAC) began investigating road contractors and procurement officers over failure to deliver on the marked projects despite payments having been started or completed.
According to the Wilfred Odalo-led committee, projects with a combined sh 1.8 billion contract sum had stalled for reasons yet to be given.
This development therefore has put Governor Anne Kananu on the spot for she is required to be held responsible over the loss.
The unceremonious removal of her predecessor Mike Mbuvi Sonko was informed by similar graft accusations.
