Kenya School of Government is yet to take back possession of six parcels of land valued at Sh1.67 billion, a report of Auditor General Nancy Gathungu shows.
In her report, Gatungu said the land located at Lower Kabete was illegally hived off and allocated to private individuals.
“Although available information indicates that these allocations have since been revoked by a court of law, the School has not taken back possession of the six parcels of land and the respective ownership documents are yet to be obtained,” she said.
Gathungu further noted that KSG is owed Sh37.9 million by defunct institutions and foreign customers.
“Management has not explained how the credits were extended to the concerned institutions and individuals despite the school’s credit policy requirement of advance payments prior to the commencement of any courses or activities,” she said in her report for the year ended June 30, 2022.
Further, Gathungu noted that the receivables balance has increased by Sh163,520,087 or 13 per cent from the previous year's balance of Sh1,282,610,450.
“Not much effort has been made to recover the balances,” she stated.
Gathungu further highlighted the delayed construction of a tuition block at Kenya School of Government, Baringo Campus.
She noted that KSG entered into a contract agreement with a local contractor on July 14, 2020, for the proposed construction of a tuition block at the KSG Baringo campus at a contract sum of Sh623,474,422.
She said works were to be completed in 130 weeks starting July 30, 2020, and ending on December 29, 2022.
“However, an audit verification exercise of the project carried out in April, 2023 established that no work has been carried out in the year under review and that the contractor had abandoned the site at the time of the visit,” she said.
She said the status of the project completion report in the financial statements indicates that the project was at 22 per cent completion with a total expended amount totalling Sh134,892,648.
