The Interior ministry has been questioned about irregular tenders and acquisition of goods and services worth Sh10 billion.
The Auditor General's report questioned the Sh3.5 billion tender for the provision of comprehensive life insurance cover for Kenya Police and the Prisons service.
Also being questioned are passport and visa stickers for Sh1.6 billion.
The report tabled before the National Assembly on Wednesday also questioned the circumstances under which the department of immigration issued visa stickers and passports to five foreign missions and embassies.
The ministry headed by Joseph Nkaissery failed to account for revenue generated from printed passports valued at Sh65 million to the missions.
The ministry was unable to explain Sh1.4 million missing from the total revenue collected for the issuing of the documents.
The auditor could also not find records of blank passports issued directly to the embassies and missions, raising queries on the existence of the passports valued at Sh133 million.
Some of the missions affected are Washington DC, London, Berlin and Pretoria.
The ministry could also not explain Sh4.2 billion alleged compensation to employees which is reflected in the payment system, but which is not captured in employee payrolls.
It was also found to have irregularly promoted 64 civilian staff contrary a circular issued by the National Treasury.
Additionally, the ministry failed to issue terms and conditions and schemes of service for civilian staff at the National Police Service contrary to the code of regulations.
"It is no possible to confirm authorization and value for money in an expenditure totaling Sh 5.5 million incurred on construction and rehabilitation as required in law," said the auditor.
