A major financial scandal within the National Treasury has been exposed after the High Court ruled that two officials refund Ksh39.1 million acquired unlawfully through allowances and perks.
The officials based the unlawful allowances on outdated and revoked government circulars.
Government circulars play a crucial role in specifying which allowances are permitted and which are not.
Issued by the National Treasury and the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC), the circulars provide guidelines, approvals, and restrictions on payments to public officials.
