A National Assembly investigation into the transfer of more than KSh 6.3 billion in eCitizen revenue to Equity Bank has stalled, raising fresh questions about accountability and transparency in the management of public funds.
The Public Accounts Committee, PAC, had scheduled hearings with several entities linked to the eCitizen platform, but the sessions were postponed and have yet to resume.
According to a report by the Auditor-General, billions of shillings were deposited into a Pesaflow account at Equity Bank without sufficient information regarding the beneficiaries or the movement of the funds.
The audit also raised concerns over payments made to private companies without the necessary supporting documentation required by law.
More than a month after the hearings were postponed, Parliament has yet to provide a clear timeline on when the investigation will continue.
The delay has sparked concerns among lawmakers and members of the public who are seeking answers regarding the handling of revenue generated through the government’s digital services platform.
