The Devolution Ministry is on the spot over the purchase of office furniture and equipment to the tune of Sh1.2 billion that has been flagged by Auditor General Edward Ouko.
PAC members were also concerned that some of the expenses in the asset registers for the Directorate of Public Service Management were suspect.
Among these were a heavy duty photocopier worth Sh1.4 million, anti-virus software supplied to the ministry at Sh973,780 and Adobe In Design CS6 software at Sh1.9 million; 45 external hard disks at Sh11,102 each; a laptop bought for Sh206,000; 18 tailor-made clear male and female condom dispensers at Sh25,000 each; CorelDraw software for Sh3.4 million; a computer and personal laptop for Sh1.1 million; and carpets at Sh3.8 million.
The Directorate also bought a Yamaha piano for office use at Sh235,500. The Huduma Kenya Secretariat paid Sh242,500 for 100 4GB flash disks, meaning it paid Sh2,425 for a flash disk that ordinarily costs roughly Sh1,000.
