Following recent revelations by the Auditor Generals report that Kura couldn’t account for Ksh.2.7 Billion, the agency has come out to clear the air on the allegations.
In a press release, the agency has clarified that the report by Auditor General did not cite any misappropriation of funds as all the RMLF funds were fully accounted for both in the Consolidated Financial statements and the RMLF financial statements.
“We note with Concern that this information is not factual and has been taken out of context,”part of the statement reads.
The agency has further stated that ,the Auditor General undertook audit of the road maintenance Levy Fund, for the year ended June 30th 2021 comprising of the revenues and expenditure as well as assets and liabilities of the fund.
“Road Maintenance Levy Fund is a subset of the Authority’s Consolidated Financial statements as the authority manages other funds from various other sources including exchequer and development partners, “the report reads.
This comes after Auditor General Nancy Gathungu fingered Kura over it’s failure to account for 2.7 Billion advanced to it.
Gathungu in a report regretted that Kura did not have a separate account for this money as the funds were banked in the Authority’s main bank account.
