IN SUMMARY
- VistaJet document now forms the basis of the first investigation launched by the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament
That statement is contradicted by documents obtained by the Nation which indicate that the money was a “first instalment” of a “quarterly payment”, the basis for the Sh100 million figure assuming that the Sh25 million fee was to be paid every three months.
Sources within the Public Accounts Committee indicated that the investigation would focus on three aspects.
They will be investigating the procurement process leading up to the award of the contract to VistaJet and whether procedures were flouted in offering the deal.
They will also interrogate whether all those who travelled have been employed by the government and have obtained a PIN number which allows them to travel at taxpayer’s expense.
A third strand, the source said, would look at the question of hiring procedures at the office of the Deputy President amid murmurs about the process of recruitment under way since the Jubilee government came to office.
