Auditor General Nancy Gathongo says her office is yet to audit the El Niño funds, as the money is still being utilized, despite concerns over possible misuse. She says the audit will be conducted at the close of the financial year. The same will apply to funds set aside to compensate victims of forced disappearances and abductions.
Speaking during the launch of the Handbook on County Accountability, Gathongo also responded to a World Bank report ranking Kenya among the most corrupt lower-middle-income countries, saying her office is reviewing the findings to identify gaps and lessons to strengthen accountability.
