Extra expenditure by KUTRRH

Kshs.12,270,000 amount was utilized for Health workers allowances as required by the AIE received. However, some legible health workers were not captured and this resulted to an extra expenditure of Kshs. 1.27M which was utilised from the Recruitment of Health Workers Fund. This is unlike other entities that opted to utilize their Own Source Funds or salary vote funds. The funds were appropriated and purposed for the compensation and recruitment of health workers to address the COVID-19 crisis and was therefore used without express authority from the National Treasury but based on a board meeting that decided and made approval to proceed to pay the extra front-line healthcare workers allowances.
