The Auditor-General said recipients of the payouts by Ketraco remained unclear, raising questions on the legitimacy of the payments.
Ketraco has been implementing construction of transmission lines valued at billions of shillings across different parts of the country.
The Kenya Electricity Transmission (Ketraco) is in the spotlight over conflicting records on how it spent Sh431 million in compensation for land owners displaced by electricity lines from Olkaria geothermal power plants to Kisumu.
Auditor-General Nancy Gathungu said recipients of the payouts by Ketraco remained unclear, raising questions on the legitimacy of the payments. During the year ending June 30, 2024, Ketraco paid some 172 persons Sh207.5 million for land acquired during construction of Olkaria-Lessos-Kisumu transmission lines, the auditor-general reported.
