By SILAS APOLLOMore by this AuthorSiaya County government spent Sh141.3million without following the law, an audit report shows. Some of the services procured during the 2014/15 period included internet services, insurance cover for motor vehicles, garbage bins and a grader, as well as the construction of a perimeter wall and offices for the governor. "In the circumstances, it was not possible to confirm if the county government obtained value for the procurement of the internet services," Mr Ouko says. On the grader, while the county, through an open tender paid Sh21.8million for the supply, it only did so to two suppliers recommended by the Assembly Transport Committee. In addition, during the year under review, the county government had outsourced most of the road projects rendering necessity of procuring the grader redundant, the report adds.
