Auditor General questions stalled construction of Multimillion Nandi County headquarters.

Auditor-General Nancy Gathungu in her annual audit report on counties has queried the stalled construction of Nandi County office complex which started in 2013.

The Sh130 million project stalled in the run-up to the 2017 General Election.

It was to be completed at a cost of Sh103 million but stalled with more than Sh97 million already paid to the contractor who abandoned the site.

In the 2018-19 financial year, the county allocated Sh55 million for the project but later reallocated the funds thus abandoning the plan to complete the project.

“Nandi residents have thus not received value for money or any benefits from the project,” Gathungu said in her latest audit report.

Construction of the four-storey office block was initiated by Governor Stephen Sang’s predecessor, Cleophas Lagat. The building had already been roofed pending completion.
