NAIROBI: A parliamentary watchdog committee has warned against dismissing queries by the Auditor General on the Sh66 billion expenditure by ministries and State departments.

The National Assembly's Public Accounts Committee (PAC) faulted the Treasury and some MPs who have dismissed the report by the office of the Auditor General on public expenditure that was unaccounted-for, saying officials should instead be pressed to provide satisfactory answers.
