Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya has come under scrutiny over alleged financial irregularities at one of the major hospitals in his county.
The Kitale Referral Hospital was in the spotlight of the Senate County Public Investment and Special Funds Committee, which probed into severe financial irregularities, including the mysterious withdrawal of Ksh9.4 million.
A report by the Auditor General on the hospital's financial statements for the 2023/2024 fiscal year raised concerns, begging the question of how money was being utilized in the institution.
The audit report noted that missing records from the 2021/22 and 2022/23 financial years made it almost impossible to form an opinion on the financial situation of the hospital.
