Scandalous Waiguru reveals how Treasury is robbing counties

Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru has come to the defense of the governors with bizarre budget line.

Ms Anne Waiguru has asked the Senate to investigate and compel the National Treasury to explain circumstances under which 14 counties generated erroneous documents that misrepresented their spending in the 2017/18 financial year.

The Auditor General report revealed that counties were splashing millions of shillings to state functions which is not within their county jurisdiction.

However, the governor, whose Kirinyaga County is among the 14, strongly denied that her administration had allocated and spent money in functions outside her jurisdiction.

She challenged the Director of Integrated Financial Management Information System (Ifmis) to come clean.

In Kirinyaga, the Auditor-General faulted Ms Waiguru for allocating Sh180 million for primary school education, Sh37 million for secondary school, Sh344 million for State House affairs, Sh50 million to rail transport, Sh3.4 million for marine transport and Sh851 million for government clearing services.

Ms Waiguru rubbished the report claiming that the IFMIS system was manipulated by the Treasury.
