Fresh Auditor Report Exposes MPs Mismanaging NGCDF Funds[FULL LIST]
Auditor General Nancy Gathungu has released a fresh report revealing how several Members of Parliament (MPs) misused the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF).
In her report, Gathungu exposed how the funds were misused in almost all the 290 constituencies with bursaries allegedly issued to non-existent students.
In Sabatia Constituency, Vihiga County, Ksh58 million was allegedly spent on bursary funds but the area member of parliament could only account for Ksh38 million with no details of beneficiaries or the amount each learner received.
In Rongo, Migori County, Ksh2.5 million was released for the construction of a school laboratory. However, the auditor general in her report, revealed that despite the multi-million expenditure, no laboratory was constructed.
The auditor further found that at least Ksh21 million was spent on digging boreholes within the constituency but the sub-county was unable to explain how the funds were spent.
In Narok West Constituency, funds meant for bursaries worth Ksh9 million were irregularly spent on 675 beneficiaries with no admission or registration numbers.
The report further alleged that some of the beneficiaries in Narok West shared similar admission numbers in their respective schools with the report detailing that some of the students had no names.
According to the auditor general, Narok West reportedly misused Ksh25 million on building classes with no breakdown of how the amount was used to build the classrooms.
In Embakasi North, the auditor general revealed undistributed cheques worth Ksh17 million with the report further flagging Ksh24 million allegedly spent by the constituency on projects which couldn’t be traced.
Nakuru Town East MP is alleged to have misused a sum of Ksh63 million with the auditor questioning Ksh21 million spent on security projects.
Notably, Isiolo South Constituency reportedly misused Ksh13 million alleging that it distributed the money to beneficiaries but did not provide receipts for the same.
