Mombasa Deputy Governor Hazel Katana has been ordered to refund the county government Sh3 million accrued over the past three years.
According to the county government, the money owed by Katana was in imprest and salary advances.
It is alleged that between July 2014 and December 2016, Katana was paid Sh8,928,093 as salary advances and imprest, but has not yet accounted for Sh3,924,484, while Sh5,003609 has so far been recovered.
In a document by acting county secretary Alphonse Mrima, some of the payments were authorised by Governor Hassan Joho, while Katana is listed as the one who approved the most.
The document further states that Katana received Sh624,867 in 2014 as imprest for a trip to France and on September 8, 2016, she was paid Sh648,622 for a trip to the US.
Katana who was elected on an ODM ticket has since decamped to Jubilee party.
