Looks like the heat on graft war is just getting started as more firewood is being added to the already boiling scandals.After every expose baffled Kenyans are left wondering whose next?
The Ethics and Anti-corruption Commission is now probing alleged irregular funding of foreign trips by Nyamira MCAs.
The anti-graft body is also investigating Sh379 million tender for the construction of a modern assembly block.
The court last week ordered the assembly clerk to issue certified copies of documents, records and registers including procurement plan and budget of the building, tender advertisement, quotation documents for all binders, names of the tender opening committee, tender opening register and tender evaluation register.
The county is on the spot over the controversial block which is currently under construction.
Other key documents that are required to be availed include; priced bill of quantity, engineer’s assessment, tender award and regret to the binders.
Others are requisition for meetings outside the county as from January 1st to date, payment vouchers in respect to all meetings held outside the county, copy of payroll for the period from January 2018 to date in respect of members of the county assembly, copies of SRC circular dated October 2017, list of house committees designation and membership and payroll of all county assembly staff from January 2018 to date.
This comes as KPC is embattled in the misuse of funds during construction of Kisumu jetty oil.According to insiders, Kenya Pipeline bought all materials meant to be used to construct the jetty in 2001, just two years before the departure of President Daniel Arap Moi. 50% of the materials were stored at the KPC yard in Industrial Area, Nairobi, while the remaining were kept at the facility in Kisumu.
Before announcing the Kisumu Jetty tender winner, KPC disposed the previously bought materials which were in perfect state and meant to construct the jetty.
Now insiders believe that the materials were which were sold as scrap metals were sold to the same company, South Engineering Company (SECO) which later used the same to construct the jetty and charge KPC exorbitantly. KPC paid a whopping Ksh 1.9 billion for the Kisumu Oil Jetty which might never work.
Kenya Pipeline Corporation (KPC) managers arraigned in court on Monday denied abuse of office charges regarding the loss of Ksh1.9 billion at the oil firm in the Kisumu Oil Jetty construction scam.
