But the governors have hit back and are blaming the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) for loss of funds. During a meeting at Whitesands Hotel in Mombasa yesterday, the governors said the system should be done away with. Bank accounts of five county governments have been hit by cyber-heists, with fraudsters stealing hundreds of millions of shillings, governors have claimed. Governors yesterday said Kilifi, Siaya, Kakamega and Kitui bank accounts have been affected and money stolen through the Integrated Finance Management Information System (Ifmis). Nine governors who spoke at Mombasa's Whitesands Hotel yesterday said that the Ifmis system was forced on the counties and called on its architects to take responsibility over the mess.
