Some Sh3.9 billion of Uwezo Funds meant to be distributed to
various groups across the country cannot be accounted for, according the
latest report by Auditor-General Edward Ouko.
The
report for the financial year 2017/2018 tabled in Parliament by
Majority Leader Aden Duale indicate there are no documents showing the
groups or the amounts of money they received. Also, there were also no
debtors ledgers detailing the loans issued by the fund since its
inception or the repayments made.
“There
were also no comprehensive loan listings and/or ageing analysis in
support of outstanding loans. Consequently, the accuracy, completeness,
validity and recoverability of the unsupported and unaccounted for loans
to group balance of Sh3,920,225,398 cannot be confirmed,” says the
report.
Further, the fund also gave over Sh7.5 million to people whose details were not indicated in the imprests schedule.
The
report notes that imprests amounting to Sh10.1 million were issued to
officers even before they surrendered the previous ones, is contrary to
the law.
In addition, Sh492,427
outstanding imprests were given to officers who had already left the
fund. The report said it is doubtful that the money will be recovered.
