How Samburu governor begged treasury for Ksh750m only to steal Ksh600m

From private homes in Nairobi at the posh Karen estate, his Milimani estate home, in Maralal town ,commercial residential apartments and resorts, the Samburu governor is said to have acquired 600 million in four years.

In 2018, when appearing before the Senate County Public Accounts Committee, Samburu Governor Moses Lenolkulal attributed the snail pace of development in the county to late disbursements of funds from the National Treasury, claims which reignited the blame game between the Governors and the National Treasury.

Lenolkulal said his County has an outstanding of pending bills amounting to Sh750 million shillings, a fact he largely linked to the sluggish nature from the part of the National Treasury in disbursing the funds.

However, as detectives comb on his alleged misappropriation of county funds, Investigation by Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has traced and listed properties valued at hundreds of millions of shillings that Samburu Governor Moses Lenolkulal is said to have acquired fraudulently in the last four years.

According to EACC sleuths , his Ksh.300m palatial house sits on approximately one acre parcel of land in Karen fair acres area and was acquired in the financial year 2016/17.

His residential home in Milimani estate, Maralal town is also a property that police are watching closely to establish when and how it was built and to what exact cost as detectives are working on a figure valued at Ksh.100 million and developed between 2016 and 2017.

A commercial residential apartment that the governor is alleged to have built in 2017 within Maralal town valued at Ksh.20 million is yet another property that EACC wants investigated.

The commission also claims Lenolkulal owns red Rock Resort in Maralal town, along the Maralal-Kisima road that has 20 cottages.

The hotel, valued at Ksh.70 million sits on a 5-acre parcel of land and according to the commission, was developed through funds acquired in a questionable manner from county coffers.
