Kenya: Auditors suspect fraud in World Bank projects

Kenyan government auditors found losses of about 131 million shillings ($1.8 million) in two World Bank-funded projects “due to what appears to be fraud and corruption,” Finance Minister Uhuru Kenyatta said. As many as 50 project managers, junior and senior staff accused of involvement have been suspended while investigators look into the cases, Kenyatta said at a briefing in the capital, Nairobi.
