On Thursday, December 3, the Budget and Appropriations Committee Chair Kanini Kega, raised questions regarding how the newly launched Nairobi Commuter Train project was financed.
Speaking during the morning session in the National Assembly, the Kieni MP told the Assembly that the money spent by the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) in conjunction with Kenya Railways was not authorized.
“The budget and appropriations committee is in receipt of a brief from the Treasury dated October 15, of expenses incurred in the current financial year under Article 223,” The committee is concerned that some of these expenses incurred under the act are not emergencies, and therefore undermines the spirit of the supplementary budget process,” he stated.
According to the the budget committee chairperson, the expenses of the Nairobi Commuter Train project went against all the constitutional guidelines. He added that the Nairobi Metropolitan Service (NMS) in itself was funded in the same manner.
