The Auditor General cited TAZAMA Pipelines Limited for nearly K4 million in wasteful expenditure after buying a non-functional agricultural drone. The firm paid over K2.2 million for the purchase and shipping of the drone. A further K1.77 million was spent to send board members and staff to China to visit the supplier. The drone has never been used and remains in storage, with recorded damages.
