Government uncovers Ksh 6.2 billion payroll fraud

Tonight, the government says it will not relent in its payroll clean-up drive after an internal audit exposed shocking irregularities, including unborn children and minors drawing salaries from state coffers. The audit also flagged civil servants receiving multiple salaries, irregular payments and other anomalies that have laid bare deep-seated rot in the public service payroll system. The investigation estimates that payroll fraud and related leakages have cost taxpayers Ksh 6.2 billion, raising fresh questions about oversight and accountability in government. Citizen TV's Political Affairs Reporter Stephen Letoo with the details.
