Kirinyaga County Governor Anne Waiguru has refuted the Auditor General's report that the county owes a total of Ksh1.2 billion in pending bills.
Speaking when she appeared before the County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC) on Monday, March 17, Waiguru affirmed that the figure was inaccurate and her administration would not be paying any unverified bills. "We are disputing the official Auditor General on the verification of pending bills in Kirinyaga County," Waiguru stated.
However, she claimed ownership of only Ksh513 million and outlined that the county government was in the process of paying them.
She termed the other Ksh680 million as fictitious and thus, ineligible for payment.
