Soon after finding out that the NYS sh 250 million graft proceeds benefited by the Ngirita’s family has vanished in thin air,another corruption case has reported important documents missing.
Its going to be harder than hard for the Auditor General Edward Ouko and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission to identify the expenditure of Migori County after details emerged that a fire razed down the county procurement offices in September 2017 burnt receipts of goods worth over sh 1.5 billion.
The expenditure could not be vouched for due to lack of relevant documents and financial records which allegedly got burnt during the fire outbreak leading to limitation of scope,” the Auditor General explained.
The county claimed that at the time of the fire incident, the procurement store contained tender documents, work tickets, payment vouchers, payment cashbooks, and bank statements.
Ouko also reported that it will be virtually impossible for him to make any conclusive verdict on the expenditures of Migori county up to the year ending June 2018.
This information comes at a time when EACC officials are investigating Migori Governor Okoth Obado for the loss of Ksh2 billion which is claimed to have been wired to accounts belonging to family members.
