The Senate Public accounts committee has vowed to invite the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission to probe Nandi Governor Stephen Sang over a Sh17 million expenditure meant for construction of Early Childhood Centres (ECDs).
This is after the committee raised concern after the county failed to provide proper financial records detailing its expenditure.
Led by Kirinyaga Senator Charles Kibiru, the committee put the county boss to task to explain how the amount had been spent.
The team was concerned by the records presented before it, with some committee members claiming that failure to provide proper financials records raised suspicions as to how the money was used.
“What is done is done and we can comfortably confirm that governor you did not comply with the law in your work. There is no justification as to why you did not provide those documents to show how far the construction was. In our report, I can assure you that we will invite the EACC to investigate this matter,” Kibiru said as quoted by Capital FM.
Kisii Senator Sam Ongeri, who was part of the committee, accused the governor and his administration of laxity in service delivery.
On her part, Isiolo Woman Representative Fatuma Dullo said the lack of records is a show that the amount is likely to have been used on other projects.
