Kenya's Senate wants law agencies to look into 11 counties for possibly wasting public money. The counties failed to explain how they spent billions of shillings.
The Senate asks both the crime unit and anti-graft team to check what happened in these areas. The counties are Tharaka Nithi, Homa Bay, Bomet, Meru, Makueni, Wajir, Nyeri, Siaya, Samburu, Kakamega and Murang'a.
Moses Kajwang leads the Senate team that checks county spending. His group found many problems after reading reports from Kenya's top auditor. The audit looked at money spent up to June 2020.
Tharaka Nithi County faces questions about unpaid bills worth 439 million shillings. The Senate wants police to check if these bills are real, and they think some might be fake.
The same county moved 37 million shillings between accounts against the rules. The Senate wants the anti-graft team to find out why this happened. Anyone who broke the law should face charges.
Homa Bay County needs to explain missing alcohol permit fees. They planned to get 1.46 million shillings but showed zero income. The Senate wants answers about this missing money.
Police must also check the 647 million shillings in Homa Bay's books. The county hid 136 million shillings in debt. Questions came up about an animal feed factory that cost 45 million shillings.
The county also changed plans for its sports field. The field was meant to cost 397 million shillings. The Senate wants to know why the price changed.
