The Auditor General has raised multiple queries on the Kiambu County spending for the 2020/21 financial year.
In her report dated June 30, 2022 tabled before the Senate's Public Accounts Committee at the end of last year, Nancy Gathungu notes that an audit of the county finances and spending had revealed gaps in retention of own, hiring of staff, accuracy of pending bills and spending without a budget for its six municipalities at Kiambu, Ruiru, Karuri, Kikuyu, Limuru and Thika.
Ms Gathungu reported that the county then headed by governor James Nyoro declared own generated revenue of Sh2.392 billion for the year, but on sampling six sub counties, a variance of Sh16,508,098 million was noted between cashbook entries and revenue returns.
