Jogoo House bureaucrats paid out Sh11.8 billion for free education manually, making the huge payouts vulnerable to fraud.
This was despite the government spending Sh240 million last financial year to reengineer the system meant to manage the disbursements.
In a new report, Auditor General Nancy Gathungu reveals that the manual process made the process opaque to scrutiny.
As a result, she cannot confirm whether the billions paid out were accurate.
Several classrooms were not in use at the time of the audit last November, while others had been converted into stores.
