President Kenyatta's Office Fails to Account for Sh2.7 Billion Expenditure

Auditor-General Edward Ouko says that the Office of the President cannot account for Sh2.7 billion.

An audit report compiled by Ouko shows that President Kenyatta's office spend the said funds on confidential expenditure in 2014, 2015 and 2016 financial years.

The reports shows that the Presidency paid Sh165 million to different companies for the supply of vehicles while a further Sh105 million was put to a general expense account without documents to support support the allocation.

"No satisfactory explanation has been provided for this anomaly. In this regard, it was not possible to confirm that the confidential expenditure incurred on motor vehicles and other payments or charge to the general suspense account during the financial year under review was lawful and that value for money was obtained," the report says as quoted by the Star.

Various State Houses and Lodges also requested for goods worth Sh22 million and were procured and received in Nairobi before being distributed to respective stations.

However, an audit carried out between January and February, 2017 shows that these goods were never supplied and there are no payment documents to support receipt.

"In the circumstances, the propriety of expenditure totaling Sh22,324,851 could not be confirmed," reads part of the report.

Additionally, the Presidency has no invoices, delivery notes, tender documents, and Local Purchase Orders to support an expenditure totalling Sh61 million among other expenditures.

" Auditor-General Edward Ouko says that the Office of the President cannot account for Sh2.7 billion." This is a no brainer! Every class 5 pupil can crack the code. The
"confidential" 2.7 Billion went to procurement of Uhuru's expensive alcohol. Wacha akunywe, it's the only full time job he got.

This is the ultimate marker of a failed state. How can anyone refute the fact that Kenya is a SHIT HOLE! Millions of Kenyans continue to delude themselves that they have a country....other countries have the Mafia; in Kenya, the Mafia have a country!

The movers and shakers of these offices are not common folks, they are seconded there by the big and mighty of the land for the sole purpose of representing their interests and protecting "their" wealth. State officials are under constant pressure and inducement from the wealthy and corporate class. There is no fence sitting in these places, you are either with "us" or against the "system" and there is a price for either side. Draining the swamp would mean replacing these agents of impunity with technocrats and contract senior civil servants.

In other words I hear Uhuru saying “the war on corruption is just a big jokes guys...and actually intended for my adversaries and of course the so called common big shot. However leave alone the untouchables ones alone until later….I promise.” He’s a typical example of mtoto wa nyoka…
