According to a report presented in Parliament, Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) is said to have made the payments despite Bandari FC being an independent football club with an independent budget.
According to a local daily, is part of the Sh96 million unsupported sports expenditure being questioned by the Auditor General.
The report, therefore, reveals that KPA paid salaries and allowances to non-employees selected to join the team for various tournaments both locally and abroad.
Also in question is Sh53 million that was paid to staff as bonuses with the process reported to have not been done in accordance with the Public Service Commission’s rewards and sanctions framework.
For instance, the said bonuses were made, not based on individually evaluated performance hence raising more questions.
The authority is consequently questioned for lying about the purchase of quality overalls worth Sh49 million claimed to have been purchased from Canada yet they were locally made.
In November 2022, former KPA MD Daniel Manduku was charged afresh for allegedly misappropriating over Sh928 million.
