Taxpayers' billions are vanishing into a legal loophole created by Regulation 101 of the Public Finance Management (National Government) Regulations, 2015. This regulation allows for minimal accountability for confidential expenditures.

• Sh6.73 billion spent on confidential expenditure by State House.
• The Controller of Budget and Auditor-General face limitations in verifying the use of these funds.
• A mere certificate signed by the State House Comptroller and a Cabinet Secretary is sufficient for expenditure approval, creating a "zone of financial darkness."
