A Limuru resident has petitioned Parliament, the Office of the Auditor General and the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission (EACC) to clarify the status of audit reports and account for public funds estimated at Sh10.5 billion allocated to the 12 constituencies in Kiambu County.
Stephen Mwangi Kimani, popularly known as Wamaconnetion, has filed formal requests seeking details of allocations, expenditure, development projects and audit findings for the 2023/2024 and 2025/2026 financial years.
In letters dated October 10, 2026, Kimani asked the three institutions to explain why the relevant audit reports were not readily accessible to the public, where applicable, and to provide official records showing how the money was utilised.
The correspondence, stamped as received by the respective offices on October 12, places public access to financial information and parliamentary oversight at the centre of the inquiry.
Kimani said residents needed reliable information to determine whether money allocated for constituency development had been spent for its intended purposes and whether projects financed through public resources had delivered the expected benefits.
He, however, cautioned against treating the absence of readily accessible reports as evidence of financial misconduct, insisting that his requests were intended to establish the facts and promote accountability.
“My request is not an allegation that any particular Member of Parliament, constituency official or public institution has committed an offence,” he said in his correspondence, calling for objective scrutiny of the available records.
In his letter to the Clerk of the National Assembly, Kimani asked Parliament to confirm whether the Auditor General had completed and submitted the relevant reports, when they were received and tabled, and whether they had been considered by the appropriate parliamentary committees.
He also sought electronic copies of completed reports or direct links to official publication pages, arguing that referring citizens to general government websites would not adequately address difficulties in locating specific documents.
Where the reports remain outstanding, he wants Parliament to identify the stage of the process, explain any delays and provide an update on when the documents are expected to become available.
Kimani cited Articles 35, 201 and 229 of the Constitution, which respectively address access to information, principles governing public finance and the Auditor General’s audit mandate.
He argued that citizens cannot effectively participate in public accountability processes if information on the allocation and expenditure of public money is difficult to obtain.
The resident further requested records showing allocations, disbursements, expenditure and unspent balances for each of Kiambu’s 12 constituencies, broken down by financial year.
The estimated Sh10.5 billion figure, he said, should be independently verified by the relevant authorities, with an official breakdown provided for each constituency.
Beyond the availability of audit reports, Kimani wants information on projects financed through constituency allocations, procurement expenditure, payments to contractors and suppliers, and the implementation status of development programmes.
He has also requested details of stalled or incomplete projects, approved budgets, completion dates and any value for money assessments contained in the available audit records.
The information, he argued, would enable residents to compare public expenditure with actual development outcomes, including improvements to roads, education facilities and other community services.
He also wants Parliament to disclose significant audit queries, unsupported expenditure, procurement concerns and other material financial management weaknesses documented in the reports.
Where the reports have already been examined, Kimani has asked for relevant committee findings, recommendations and records of follow up action.
The requests come amid growing public interest in how public funds are managed and the effectiveness of institutions mandated to scrutinise expenditure and enforce accountability.
However, the existence of an audit query does not, by itself, establish fraud or corruption. Such findings require examination, responses from the relevant accounting officers and appropriate action by the responsible authorities.
In a separate letter to the Auditor General, Kimani formally requested copies of available audit reports for the two financial years, alongside a breakdown of allocations, money received, expenditure and balances for each constituency.
He asked the audit office to identify any material findings relating to unauthorised or irregular expenditure, procurement, incomplete projects and weaknesses in financial management.
He further sought information on the responses submitted by accounting officers and the implementation status of recommendations made by the Auditor General, where such information is available.
The resident wants the office to confirm whether the estimated Sh10.5 billion represents the actual allocations for the periods under scrutiny. If the figure is inaccurate, he has asked for verified totals and a breakdown by constituency and financial year.
Kimani requested that the documents be provided electronically in PDF format. He also asked the Auditor General’s office to explain the publication status of reports that have not been completed or released and direct him to the appropriate institution where particular records fall outside its mandate.
The 2025/2026 financial year ended on June 30, 2026, and the audit process may still be underway for some accounts. Kimani acknowledged this in his correspondence, asking the institutions to distinguish between reports that are complete, those submitted for consideration and those still being prepared.
Kimani has also written to EACC, asking the anti graft agency to clarify whether it has obtained or examined relevant audit findings and whether any documented concerns have warranted investigations or other action within its mandate.
He wants the commission to indicate whether it has engaged Parliament, the Auditor General or the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) Board to obtain records needed to assess credible allegations of financial misconduct.
He also asked whether complaints relating to suspected losses or misuse of constituency funds have been received or investigated, subject to legal restrictions on the disclosure of investigative information.
The resident urged the commission to explain how citizens can submit supporting evidence and have complaints formally assessed.
He acknowledged that EACC is not the primary institution responsible for publishing the Auditor General’s reports but maintained that it should clarify what action it can take when available evidence points to possible corruption or economic crime.
The commission’s role, he argued, should be distinguished from that of the institutions responsible for auditing public expenditure, publishing reports and exercising parliamentary oversight.
Kimani also asked EACC to identify the office responsible for making outstanding reports publicly accessible and clarify whether the matter had been referred to the relevant institution.
The three letters emphasise that the requests are intended to establish the status of the reports and the facts surrounding public expenditure rather than to accuse any individual or institution of wrongdoing.
Kimani said access to reliable financial records was essential to meaningful public participation and responsible management of public resources.
He urged the relevant offices to provide written responses addressing the issues raised and to release documents already available for public access.
The correspondence copied to the Speaker of the National Assembly, the chairperson of the Public Accounts Committee, the Auditor General and the Commission on Administrative Justice also seeks to draw attention to the respective institutions’ oversight and administrative responsibilities.
The central issue now is whether the relevant reports have been completed and published, what they reveal about the management of constituency funds, and what action has been taken on any findings requiring further scrutiny.
For Kiambu residents, access to the records would provide an opportunity to assess expenditure against approved allocations and determine whether development projects have delivered value for money.
Kimani said he expected formal responses explaining the status of the reports and outlining the procedures for obtaining the requested information.
The requests do not establish that the estimated Sh10.5 billion was lost or misused, nor do they confirm that the reports have been withheld. Those questions require official records and responses from the responsible institutions.
