Spotlight on billions ofsecret expenditure by Ruto team

President William Ruto’s administration has spent billions of shillings characterised as “confidential expenditure”, effectively blocking public scrutiny.

A report by Auditor General Nancy Gathungu raises the red flag that some of the government entities gobbling up the billions are not eligible for the secret vote.

Confidential expenditure is money spent mostly by security agencies and whose details may not be laid bare by auditors because of the sensitivity of the operations.
