MPs Put Kenya Law Reform Commission on Spot Over Sh2.1mn Unauthorised Spending
KLRC spent Sh20.6 million against an approved budget of about Sh18.5 million on commission expenses, resulting in an over-expenditure of Sh2.1 million, or 11 per cent.
Members of Parliament have questioned the Kenya Law Reform Commission (KLRC) over unauthorized spending of Sh2.1 million that was not approved by the commission. The Auditor-General's report revealed that the KLRC overspent by 11% on commission expenses and 15% on repairs and maintenance between the 2018/19 and 2024/25 fiscal years.
The committee demanded answers on whether the expenditure had been authorized and if the KLRC had sought budget reallocation approval before moving funds. KLRC officials argued that the apparent overexpenditure arose from reclassifying expenses between secretariat and commission accounts. However, MPs rejected this explanation and insisted on examining specific expenditure lines flagged by the Auditor-General.
