Kenya's National Treasury is under scrutiny for allegedly diverting Sh7.3 billion from the fuel levy to illegally compensate a consortium of French firms for a terminated road construction contract.

• The funds were withdrawn from the Road Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF), intended for pending bills, not contract termination compensation.
• The payment was made to a French consortium that was awarded the contract for the Nairobi-Nakuru-Mau Summit Road under the previous administration.
• The Auditor-General's report questions the value for money as the contract was cancelled by the current administration before work began, with the project subsequently awarded to Chinese contractors.
