Another report: Funds spent, but no proof; who's fooling who?

In yet another report, Auditor General Edward Ouko has questioned the unbridled misuse of public funds. The exponential growth in the misappropriation of public funds puts in doubt efforts to check runaway corruption that has come to be regarded as a way of life in Government.

The Auditor General's report establishes that 17 ministries spent Sh66.7 billion without supporting documents. The Ministry of Health topped the list of ministries with an unsupported expenditure of Sh22.5 billion. Further, it irregularly spent Sh24 billion without Parliament's approval.
