Nyamira Governor Amos Nyaribo was at pain to explain the expenditure of Sh1 billion which reflected as unaccounted for in the 2018/2019 Auditor Report, when he appeared before the Senate’s Public Accounts and Investments Committee sitting in Kisii on Friday. Nyaribo had on Tuesday been turned away after it was realized that he had supplied documents late to the Committee. During the sitting, Nyaribo was hard pressed to give convincing answers to the committee saying he was only new to office as governor. Nyaribo, a former banker, said even most of his officers were new and did not have all the information needed and thus cannot be in a position to explain expenditure gaps reflected in the audit report. The audit had also poked holes in the county’s expenditure on a number of flagship projects among them the Governor’s office, stalled Manga Stadium.
