Kenya can’t account for $400 mn of public money

NAIROBI: Kenya’s government cannot account for $400 million in public funds, according to a damning report from the auditor general highlighting the country’s failure to crack down on graft and misuse of state resources. The report for the 2015/2016 financial year describes a litany of misspending and poor accounting under President Uhuru Kenyatta. Less than a third of financial statements of ministries, departments and agencies that were scrutinised were clean, according to the report submitted to Parliament last week.
