The auditor general is questioning those expenses not because they were incurred in one day but because they lack proper supporting documentation. That's what auditors do,they question costs which do not have proper supporting documents and provide time for management to respond to the questioned costs
Quote:Curiously, all the payments were made on June 30, 2015.
“Initial observations have revealed that these vouchers were not adequately supported as required under Section 5.5.13 and 5.5.14 of the Government Financial Regulations and Procedures,” the Auditor-General said in a letter signed by S.K. Chibole.
“The audit is incomplete due to lack of tender documents and other records that we requested in the above mentioned letter,” said Chibole.
In addition, the Auditor-General asked to review bank statements for an account the ministry holds at Kenya Commercial Bank.
The Auditor-General said that without those documents, it was not possible to determine whether the expenditures comply with the Public Finance Management Act and the Constitution in line with his mandate.
The letter was written on August 25 and was read out to Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph ole Nkaissery at the start of the ministry’s meeting with the Public Accounts Committee.
Mr Nkaissery, however, refused to discuss the letter, saying: “I’m hearing about the letter from the Auditor-General for the first time today.”
NUMBER PLATES
The ministry was also unable to offer a coherent explanation on the process of acquiring new-generation number plates, in which machines have been supplied but there is a tussle regarding the supply of the raw materials.
