Water Cabinet Secretary Sicily Kariuki has been summoned over a Sh7.7 million expenditure during her tenure at the Public Service docket.

According to a report by the Auditor General, CS Kariuki diverted an National Youth Service (NYS) chopper for a personal errand.

The National Assembly Public Accounts Committee has summoned the CS to explain the multi-million expenditure in the Public Service Ministry's 2018/2019 books.

A further Sh2.3 million for mobile toilets hired during a separate incident was also flagged by the Auditor General.
