Treasury orders repeat special audit of unpaid bills in counties Tuesday January 26 2021 By OTIATO GUGUYU Summary Office of the Auditor-General (OAG) last year conducted a special audit that revealed that as at June 30, 2018 only Sh51.2 billion pending bills by counties were payable, while the rest totalling Sh37.7 billion were found to be ineligible for payment due to lack of supporting documents. A number of county governments, however, wrote to the OAG disputing the eligibility of some of the pending bills. A pile-up of pending bills among counties and State corporations has dealt small businesses a major blow. The Treasury has ordered a repeat special audit of county pending bills following complaints about the authenticity of some supply contracts.
