Kenyans lost billions in the bungled State-backed edible oils scandal, Auditor General Nancy Gathungu says.

Gathungu is now calling on investigative agencies to conclude their probe to allow for the prosecution of culpable persons and entities.  

In her just-published special audit findings on the multi-billion scandal following a request by the National Assembly’s Public Accounts Committee into the Sh15 billion programme, Gathugu lays bare how Kenya National Trading Corporation (KNTC) messed up, leaving Kenyans grappling with high prices of cooking oil.
