The Auditor General's Report for the fiscal year 2015-16 reads like a financial Stephen King novel.
oagkenya.go.ke/index.php/repo…
Here are a few highlights:

The statement of public debts as at 30 June 2016 reflects an outstanding public debt of Kshs.3,385,910,449,825 representing an increase of Kshs.711,104,085,630 or 26.6% of 2014/2015 [That's 3.3 trillion]

Under the Presidency:

The dept for the interior bought a helicopter for KES 2bn, failed to insure it then it got into an accident:
"The department confirmed that the Helicopter was not insured which further complicates the recovery of the loss totalling Kshs.2,276,740,840."

The state dept overpaid for motorcycles

The State Dept bought 51K more pairs of shoes than they were supposed to.... yup

Immigration dept lost KES 1.4bn:
total revenue collected excluding certificate of good conduct, Identity
cards and others of Ksh.2,996,790,000 differs with the Kshs.1,524,300,362 reflected in the 2014/15 financials. The loss of Kshs.1,472,489,638, has not been accounted for.

They stole from prisons:
Examination of a sample of water bills revealed that bills totalling Kshs.11,545,660 were paid and then recycled for payment resulting in double payments. No action has been taken to recover the amount totalling Kshs.11,545,660 that was paid fraudulently.

230 million meant for street families appeared to have vanished into thin air

Two firms were overpaid for the supply of rice for relief purposes
The expenditure includes payments totalling Kshs.36,250,000 for 5000 bags of rice supplied by Unifresh Exotic Kenya Limited and BN Kotecha at Kshs.7,250 per 50kg bag. The contract provided for at Kshs.4,450 a bag.

Say hello to the Women's Enterprise Fund where directors held more meetings than was necessary

Good morning, Ministry of Defence:
Contract records show that a contractor was awarded a contract for a food processing factory at Kenyatta Barracks, Gilgil at a sum of Kshs.459,960,055 on 4 March 2015. Inspection of the site revealed that the contractor had abandoned the works.

MoD seems replete with cash:
The Ministry entered into a contract with another firm on 25 June 2015 for supply and installation of food processing equipment at Kshs.373,174,000. The equipment had not been delivered despite the firm having been paid the entire contract sum.

MoD, again:
Seven (7) aircrafts have not been operational from the time they were procured. However, they are being used as sources of spare parts. No justification has been given for the purchase of seven (7) aircrafts at USD 7,136,035 then use them as sources for spare parts.

MoD:
Examination of records revealed that the Ministry procured two (2) Caterpillar 374 DL through direct procurement from Mantrac Kenya Ltd in 2011/2012 at Kshs.185,323,994 instead of Kshs.40,000,000, the prevailing market price based on a market survey undertaken by the user.

Over in Thailand:
The former Ambassador returned to Kenya in July 2013. The embassy, however, continued paying rent for the house previously occupied by him. As a result, an amount of Kshs.8,700,000 had been paid as of 31 July 2014 for the unoccupied rental premises.

In South Korea
An officer returned to Kenya on 31 December 2016 and the house which was occupied by the officer continued to attract quarterly rent amounting to Kshs1,111,980 despite being vacant. The embassy has so far incurred rental expenditure totalling Kshs.2,223,960

You wonder why former CS' are being made ambassadors. Wonder no more - Moscow Embassy:
Examination revealed that Kshs.149,323,311 and Kshs.28,808,743 were withdrawn from bank accounts between the year 2009 and 2011. These withdrawals were not recorded in cash book.

In Juba:
The mission transferred Kshs.13,600,000 (SSP 800,000) on 30 June 2016 from the local currency account to the dollar account resulting in a loss of Kshs.11,841,778 (SSP 696,575). A rate of SSP 30 to USD 1 was applicable instead of SSP 45 to USD 1 used.

Did you know:
The Ministry of Education initiated a project for construction of sixty (60) and a further seventy (70) new technical training institutes (TTI’s) across the Country. The statement of receipts and payments reflects total expenditure of Kshs.51,411,624,073

And from the much loved Ministry of Health:

At the Ministry of Transport (one of the Big Four players, remember?), we are helping ourselves to grants

If you come across this car, please get in touch with the dept of environment and natural resources. They seem to be losing entire vehicles... and not giving a damn about it

If you are looking for an all-expenses trip to Cancun, Mexico, this coming spring Break, please get in touch with the Department of Water and Irrigation. They are feeling rather generous

They are "building" stadia:
The Construction of Olenguruone Stadium was awarded at Kshs.290,643,668 on 12 November 2012. An inspection carried out in September 2016 revealed that the project was not complete, the contractor was not on site and had been paid
Kshs.73,481,130

Heeeelloooo Strathmore University. I see you earned yourselves an entry in the Kusema na Kutender Hall of Fame.

McKinsey and Co. you consistent devils, you. I see your exemplary work with the Guptas in SA was being replicated in Kenya as well. Outstanding fellas, outstanding!

Digital govt:
An amount of Kshs.11,040,750 in respect of names’ search and reservation and registration of business names, had been collected through the ECitizen platform by 30 June 2016. However, there was no evidence that it has been remitted to the Treasury as required.

Our judiciary is certainly overwhelmed. No doubt about that:

Is this on Baricho Road or am I just getting cross-eyed?

We incurred penalties that exceed the value of motor vehicles that we ordered. We are indeed a cuddly lot

Ah, there you are, Mr Chebukati
