The Controller of Budget, Dr. Margaret Nyakang'o, has issued a clarification regarding a reported Sh44.52 million expenditure by the Office of the Spouse of the Deputy President, Professor Kithure Kindiki.

• The Sh44.52 million was an error in mapping expenditure, incorrectly attributed to the Office of the Spouse of the DP, not an actual spending by the office.
• Key organizations involved are the Office of the Controller of Budget (OCoB) and the Office of the Deputy President (ODP).
• The error was a transposition of figures between sub-programmes and has since been corrected in a republished report on the OCoB website, with measures to prevent future mistakes.
