In Summary

Worrying details have emerged about the multi-billion-shilling government-initiated development projects and programmes that have stalled across the country.

A new report has revealed how taxpayers’ money is being wasted on these projects, some of which were initiated more than 10 years ago by previous regimes.

Shedding light on the government’s cash crunch, the national government expenditure report for the first half of the financial year indicates the projects have stalled due to inconsistent or insufficient funding.

The government ministries, departments and agencies often undertake the projects.

However, some state agencies did not spend a penny on development during the entire six-month period.

“An analysis of the implementation of development projects by MDAs of the national government revealed a general delay in project implementation,” the report by Controller of Budget Margaret Nyakang’o says.
