Demands for Accountability and Payment Arise Over Alleged Fraud and Misuse of Funds in Kenya

The Senate Public Accounts Committee has summoned Mandera Governor Aden Khalif to explain the expenditure of KSh 449.1 million on programs including seedlings, water tracking, relief food, and cash transfers. Separately, a controversy has emerged within the Social Health Authority (SHA) regarding alleged payment issues and fraud claims. In a different matter, goat farmers who sold animals at the Kimalel goat market in December are demanding payment nearly two months later and are threatening to protest over what they allege is fraud. The family of Busia businessman Ibrahim Mohammed is also demanding answers from the government regarding his disappearance. Mohammed went missing from a bus at a police roadblock while allegedly carrying Ksh 17 million.
