Details of debts and creditors inherited from the defunct county councils in Homa Bay County cannot be verified, the Auditor General has said.
A report on financial operations prepared by Auditor-General Edward Ouko indicates revenue collection in all the sub-counties was done manually, despite availability of the Local Authority Integrated Financial Operations Management System (Laifoms).
The sub-counties include Homa Bay, Mbita, Oyugis, Kendu Bay, Municipal Council of Homa Bay, Suba and Rachuonyo.
The report shows county officials were not utilising a module where all monies received should to be banked and the corresponding banking slips uploaded in the system.
The defunct County Council of Suba had not paid a Sh35 million debt to the Homa Bay County Government by March last year.
