Скачать или смотреть MP Naomi Waqo Calls for Stronger Accountability as Auditor-General Reports Expose Corruption Risks.

Marsabit county Mp Hon.Naomi Waqo, has raised concern over deep-rooted corruption and weak accountability in both national and county governments while contributing to a parliamentary debate on reports by the Office of the Auditor-General in the Parliament of Kenya.

Waqo said the audit findings reveal persistent financial mismanagement, stalled projects, and widespread non-compliance with procurement and accounting standards. She noted that corruption has increasingly spread to county governments, where misuse of public funds and weak oversight continue to undermine service delivery across Kenya.


The legislator also highlighted corruption in employment processes, alleging that qualified young professionals are being sidelined while unqualified individuals occupy key financial and procurement positions. She warned that cartel networks within government institutions are frustrating accountability and contributing to the rise in pending bills and incomplete development projects.

Waqo called on the government to strengthen internal audit systems across ministries and counties, enforce strict action against unqualified and non-compliant officers, and ensure transparent and merit-based recruitment.

She emphasized that audit recommendations must be implemented decisively to curb corruption, restore accountability, and improve service delivery.
