More than Sh5 million was spent to accommodate senior government officials attending the Olympic games in Rio de Janeriro, a committee was told on Tuesday.
The Sports ministry also authorised payment of more than Sh2.2 million to accommodate President Uhuru Kenyatta on a cruise ship.
But none of the rooms were used.
Committee president Kipchoge Keino and deputy treasurer Stephen Soi made the revelations to the National Assembly Labour Committee, which is probing the mismanagement of athletes during the Olympics.

They said Sports CS Hassan Wario did not involve them in planning for accommodation amounting to about Sh2.6 million at Othon Palace.
The rooms were booked for National Assembly Labour committee chairman David Were and his Senate counterpart, Stewart Madzayo.
"In a meeting on June 14 with the CS and PS, I was directed to book a room for the President on [a] cruise ship," Soi, who was the Chef de Mission, said.
"I was further told to book rooms for the two Principal Secretaries, chairman of the Sports Fund and the Controller of Budget," he added.
Soi and Keino dismissed claims that they mismanaged athletes, arguing that they could not have recorded an outstanding performance if that was the case.

They said they applied for sports kits from Nike nine months prior to the games as required for all Kenyan teams. including those that has not qualified for the games.
The officials said the kits picked from Nock offices during the CID's raid belonged to teams that did not qualify, including the volleyball team.
But they refused to comment on Wario's decision to disband the committee, saying the matter was pending in court.

"We have moved to [the High Court] for the decision taken by Wario to disband Nock to be declared illegal ... because it doesn't apply under both local and international laws," Soi said.
The Sports CS, who appeared before the committee earlier, was at pains to explain to the MPs how the Olympics Committee was to blame for mishandling athletes.
He was to shed light on claims of mismanagement of athletes, the legitimacy of disbanding Nock and the temporary transfer of its roles to Sports Kenya.
He was also required to explain the repercussions of disbanding the Olympic committee and the court cases instituted against some Nock officials.
Instead, Wario and his team, which included PS Richard Ekai, distanced themselves from the allegations.
They said the ministry plays a limited role in facilitating the team to participate in the Olympics.
"The role of the ministry ... included setting up a Steering Committee, under the chairmanship of the PS; developing a budget in conjunction with Nock; paying allowances to athletes; procuring air tickets for athletes and officials to Rio games and fast-tracking the anti-doping legislation to ensure Kenya was in full compliance with the requirements of World Anti-Doping Agency," he said.
But the CS came under fire when Cherengany MP Wesley Korir questioned why an athlete, Isaiah Koech, had not been paid his Rio allowances yet the CS told the committee all athletes received their dues amounting to Sh761,000 each.
"Isaiah Koech has not been paid his allowances and has been chased from the ministry. You have told us all athletes have been paid; does it mean the athlete is lying? If your record says he is paid then where is the money?" Korir said.
Mt Elgon MP John Serut also joined Korir in demanding that the minister and his team confirm whether all athletes were paid or not.
But Ekai said some who had not been paid "are going to be paid after this meeting".
The PS said the delay in payment was caused by the challenge of transmitting the money.
Wario defended his decision to disband Nock on grounds that mismanagement of athletes has been a recurring problem, hence the need to resolve the problem "once and for all".

"It is true Nock is an independent and autonomous institution as formulated under the IOC Charter. But then, it is the Kenyan public who constitute [it] and therefore it should be guided by laws of the land which include the Constitution of Kenya, Sports Act, Public Officers Ethics Act, Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act among others," Wario said.
He said his ministry has received an invitation from IOC to discuss the disbandment matter and ensure Nock is reconstituted and streamlined to operate "in 21st century and not 201th century".
