A senior accountant at the National Construction Authority (NCA) who misappropriated Sh22.7 million was given 18 years to pay back the money, a report by the Auditor General has revealed.

This was one of several red flags raised after a special audit conducted by Auditor General Nancy Gathungu following a request by the NCA board of directors in December 2017 for an investigation into the authority’s revenue, receivables and expenditure management for 2014/2015, 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 financial years.
