The Auditor General cannot confirm the accuracy of property and equipment worth Sh22.5 billion booked in the books of Kenya Railways because of illegal allocations of land.

Edward Ouko says in his latest report that the parastatal’s financial accounts reflect a balance of Sh27.5 billion in respect of property, plant, and equipment for the year ended June 2016.
