PS Kello defends Petroleum Department over Sh304bn audit queries
The audit questioned why four active Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs) had accumulated recoverable exploration costs amounting to USD2.35 billion, equivalent to Sh304.37 billion, without evidence that mandatory cost recovery audits had been undertaken. The Auditor-General warned that failure to carry out the audits could expose the Government to recovery of ineligible petroleum exploration expenses.
