MCAs have urged anti-graft agencies to launch an audit and investigations into the operations at the County Government of Embu.\n<\/p>\n

A day after the Deputy Governor resigned as the CEC in charge of Health for what he termed as lack of necessary support, the MCAs also called for a lifestyle audit on senior staff at the devolved unit.\n<\/p>\n

The MCAs say senior employees are diverting county funds since they know that they will not be back in the next government. <\/p>\n

Leader of Minority Lenny Masters Mwaniki observed that the county could be loosing billions from revenue collection through diversion of the daily collections to private accounts.\n<\/p>\n

“Last year the county government in its budget estimates had projected to collect Sh450 million but only collected Sh150 million,” Mwaniki noted.<\/p>\n

The MCAs also accused the Martin Wambora government of appointing unqualified staff.\n<\/p>\n

Senator Njeru Ndwiga observed that the county government could have done better with more than Sh8 billion it received from the Treasury.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
