CA buys its staff wallets at a price of Sh6,500 each
The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) is on the spot once again for profligate spending of public funds that saw it sink Sh1.95 million into the purchase of 300 leather wallets for staff.The agency, which is the telecoms and broadcasting sector regulator, bought the wallets at a cost of Sh6,500 each or more than five times the market price, according to an audit report seen by theBusiness Daily. http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Corporate-News/CA-buys-its-staff-wallets-...
Thanks Grace for sharing. This is what really makes me wonder, when will we ever think of the future. Most Govt agencies spend as if the world is ending today, no wonder we are in economic problems, one of the reasons given is wastage of funds. I am sure part of that money if used economically can be used to build an ICT lab somewhere in Kenya to increase Technical literacy(..hoping fund for the project won't be stolen again :-) ..... ).

It is definitely surprising to read such at a time when we were still meditating on the Director General's reassuring statement on the independence of the CA. I have attached sreenshots of the DG's recent statement. On 2 Nov 2015 15:32, "Toilem Godwin via kictanet" < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:
