The Senate Public Accounts Committee has ordered for a forensic audit into Nairobi County Assembly’s revenues over an alleged three-year misappropriation of Ksh18 billion ($127 million).
The audit was sparked by the auditor general’s bombshell disclosure, which revealed extensive financial mismanagement and suspected fraud within the county’s headquarters, City Hall.
The report disclosed an alarming discrepancy between the revenues declared by the county government and the actual amounts collected.

The lack of access to the county’s revenue system has exacerbated the situation, which has left operations paralyzed and hindered responses to audit queries.
Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has identified the individual holding exclusive administrative access to the system as Mr Simon Imbisi, a former Nairobi Metropolitan Service (NMS) officer.
Imbisi has refused to surrender these access rights, further complicating the matter.
The committee has therefore asked that Mr. Imbisi allow access to the county administration while distancing himself from the county to prevent additional harm and restore openness.
The committee members think this will be crucial in figuring out what happened to the missing money and in making those guilty of the alleged misappropriation of public funds accountable.
