The Auditor-General has put two North Rift counties on the spot over failure to spend Sh4.2 billion in the 2018-2019 financial year.
Uasin Gishu and Trans Nzoia counties could not spend Sh3.2 billion and Sh1.06 billion respectively during the period under review.
During the period, the Auditor General noted, the Jackson Mandago administration under-absorbed the money, which was part of its Sh10 billion approved budget.
In the neighbouring Trans Nzoia, the report said out of an approved budget of Sh8 billion, the county spent Sh6.9 billion resulting in under-absorption of Sh1.06 billion.
