Wajir Governor Ahmed Abdullahi has been taken to task by the Senate over some fictitious Sh1.3 billion pending bills that have already been paid for by his administration.
Abdullahi, who appeared before the Senate County Public Accounts Committee, chaired by Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang, was tasked to provide documents proving that the pending bills have not been cooked, as they demanded a forensic audit of the debts.
Kajwang sought to know from the Governor what assurance he could provide to the Senate that the pending bills were not manufactured since they were not disclosed in the previous financial year, then they were suddenly put there, which raised eyebrows.
