Kshs.46.1 Million in Questionable Classroom Renovation Expenditure
An audit revealed that out of Kshs.92,798,478 transferred to other government units, Kshs.19,395,285 spent on renovating 27 classrooms and fencing one school showed poor workmanship, while Kshs.26,679,706 for construction and renovation of 9 classrooms was awarded to contractors lacking valid tax compliance certificates, raising concerns over value for money.
In other words – KSH 19.3 million wasted away to poor workmanship, and KSH 26.7 million given to criminal associates of those in government.
Kshs.51.3 Million Fixed Assets Balance Undermined by Vandalized Tractors
An audit conducted under ISSAI 4000 found that within the reported fixed assets balance of Kshs.51,281,256, three tractors abandoned at the former Municipal Council of Siaya premises were heavily vandalized and of indeterminable value, casting doubt on whether value for money was achieved.
In other words, KSH 51.3 million is used to acquire tractors – which are then vandalized and damaged due to incompetent management.

@NGCDF_Kenya@NAssemblyKE@Senate_KE@EACCKenya@FlavNasmbu
@MwangiBonnie So the NG-CDF for my constituency has all along been used as a conduit for pilferage of public resources through substandard workmanship (euphemism for using contractors for kickbacks), phantom bursaries, and pie in the sky 'trainings'. Leadership accountability is paramount.
