Finance Committee summons Treasury CS Ndung’u over Ksh 17.2b

The National Assembly Finance Committee has summoned Treasury Cabinet Secretary Professor Njuguna Ndung'u to clarify whether 17 billion shillings was irregularly withdrawn from the consolidated fund in June this year, for purposes of financing a diesel subsidy programme to private entities. The Azimio coalition has flagged the amount as similar to the figure cited in the 17.2 billion shilling oil importation saga. Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission Chief Executive Officer Twalib Mbarak disclosed that the commission will make a determination on whether to investigate the oil importation saga or not.
