Kilifi County dismisses audit report

Kilifi County Government has denounced an audit report alleging misuses of Sh12.5 million public money by the office of the governor.

According to the County Executive Committee Member for Finance John Kombe, the report by the Auditor General dated early this year is "an old report" filled with inaccuracies.

Kombe claimed the auditor made many conclusions in his report without all documents, and that he hurriedly compiled it before receiving all requested papers.

"The report the auditor general is speaking about is an old one. Most of it's concerns have so been addressed when we forwarding the the procurement documents to their office," said Mr Kombe.

The finance committee member further said most of the expenditures were done during the transition period from the former local authorities.
