KCB has declined to give details of a private account allegedly holding Sh18.7 million belonging to Vihiga county.
The funds were deposited by Sports CEC Marita Agufana and Fi- nance CEC Alfred Indeche who were impeached last week. An ad hoc committee led by Banja MCA Collins Ayugu had written to KCB Mbale branch manager Boni- face Azenga requesting details of the bank account.
KCB’s response, dated July 24, said the bank would not divulge further information of the account due to customer confidentiality. Agufana said she transferred the money to a private account to keep it safe from the national Treasury upon expiry 2017/2018 financial year.
The funds were allocated for sports activities in Vihiga county in July. Others who were impeached over the issue are chief officers Living- stone Imbayi (Finance) and Clement Manyulu (Sports).
This is theft of public funds right there. You just don’t transfer public money to a private account “for safe keeping”. DPP Hajji deal na hawa Waluhya.
This was an extract from an online mandazi moto with very short hyphenated columns and I just replaced the line breaks and the hyphens - and spaced it out. A few of the hyphens must have escaped the “Search and Replace” - maybe coz they are n-dashes.
This is a very good move by my governor Ottichillo, fire those fools! Hakuna mambo ya stepping aside Kama kawaida ukishashiba for further investigations
Go to kiambu county news where your loyalty lies you half bred impure blood
last time i was home i had a chat with a former mca for tambua ward and boy he sure sounded bitter…he confided in me that gov otchilo has sealed all the loop holes that they were using to milk the county…personally am impressed with the governor who in my own judgement is only beaten by the good prof for makueni in the whole country…however sub tribe politics will derail him! otchilo is from the minority nyore and maragolis who are populous in the county are not happy about that ! performance not withstanding am maragoli but would vote for anyone so long as his track speaks for itself …planning to shift my vote to the county just to ensure he is re-elected
Finally, a governor who refuses to condone theft of public funds.
Kimani Ichungwa has been crying himself hoarse over government agencies and counties banking funds in commercial banks and for some reason no one takes him seriously, Treasury should outlaw this practice which has led to our taxes sitting pretty in commercial banks for years cushioning banks which are actually unfriendly to the people
Theft of pubic funds is happening everywhere, the Ouko audit reports has already pointed it out.
It’s only when the name mention is a kikuyu does the whole matter get amplified; vengeful attackers take a loud position. Recently the lifestyle audit vealed some senior public servants, non-Kyks had million in their accounts, one having 200 million, no one blinked, everyone choose to turn blind.
