Audit details irregular spending in Affirmative Action Fund
NEWS
A report by the Auditor-General paints a grim picture of how some women and youth groups spent money allocated to them by the National Government Affirmative Action Fund.
In the 2019-2020 financial year, the fund is said to have received Sh2.4 billion for use in various projects across the counties but part of it was diverted by some beneficiaries to merry-go-rounds and other things that were not approved by the fund managers.
The report details cases where women groups in 10 counties diverted funds, spent money without sufficient documentary evidence and other irregularities.
