Kenyan officials bought 'sex toys' with taxpayers' money

A senior government minister in Kenya has been summoned by MPs to explain what they describe as strange purchases - including sex toys and a condom dispenser - by officials in her ministry.

Devolution and Planning Minister Ann Waiguru is due to appear before a parliamentary committee later today to explain the alleged purchases at inflated prices.
MPs allege that the condom dispenser was bought for $250, a television screen for $19,000 and pens for nearly $100. It is still unclear how much was spent on sex toys.

In a twist development ,Ms Anne Waiguru has hit back at allegations that sex toys and a female condom dispenser were among items bought with taxpayers' money by her ministry. 

"Both by law and in practice, I do not procure. I do not purchase anything for the ministry. I don't sign or negotiate contracts," she said in a tweet.
"Where instances of possible malpractice has been brought to my attention I have called in investigative authorities," Ms Waiguru added.
