Documents Contradict CS's Account on Substandard Fuel Shipment - April 2026

The Public Accounts Committee has separately flagged significant financial mismanagement within government projects, particularly highlighting millions lost in interest penalties due to delayed payments in the State Department for Irrigation's 2023/2024 accounts. Meanwhile, the Independent Policing Oversight Authority has launched an investigation into the fatal shooting of taxi driver Adan Mohamed Hassan by police officers in Garissa County on April 21, examining whether proper procedures were followed.

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has flagged significant financial mismanagement within government projects, specifically highlighting millions lost in interest penalties due to delayed payments. This issue came to light during deliberations on the State Department for Irrigation's 2023/2024 financial accounts.

  • Approximately KSh42.12 million was paid as accrued interest penalties on the Thiba Dam project alone due to delayed payments.
  • The Public Accounts Committee (PAC), chaired by Butere MP Tindi Mwale, and Principal Secretary Ephantus Kimotho of the State Department for Irrigation were key participants in the discussions.
  • Delays were attributed to underfunding and constrained exchequer releases from the National Treasury, leading to systemic inefficiencies and avoidable costs.
