ALL ODM TOP LEADERS CORRUPT

A report by the Departmental Committee on Local Authorities Thursday indicted Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Authorities Musalia Mudavadi his PS Sammy Kirui, Mayor Geoffrey Majiwa, Former Town Clerk John Gakuo over the fraudulent procurement of cemetery land that was unsuitable for its intended purpose.

The report implicates them for corruption and irregular purchase of the land valued at 20 million shillings but purchased at a whooping 283 million shillings.

The Committee wants the DPM and Minister for local government Musalia Mudavadi to step aside and take political responsibility for failing to ensure proper procurement procedure was followed in the purchase of cemetery land established to be rocky and unfit for the construction of a cemetery.

It goes ahead to name the PS Sammy Kirui as the main architect of the fraud that has seen the council loose 283million shillings in the fraudulent purchase of land valued at 20 million.

Kirui is said to have signed two cheques separately, one for 175 million shillings on 30th of June 2008, and the second on 15th January 2009 releasing another 108million shillings to Omottii advocates the council's representatives in the purchase of the land.

The report recommends he steps aside and KACC moves in speedily to investigate the fraud.

Also in the spot light is Mayor Geofrey Majiwa with the report detailing him as a signatory in the sale agreement and transfer documents wanting him to resign and take political responsibility for showing no interest in a transaction of such magnitude.

The reports also recommend former town clerk john Gakuo not to be allowed to hold any public office and KACC moves in to determine his exact role in the scandal, terming him as uncooperative and a likely mastermind of the fraud.

The report also recommends former deputy Town Clerk Otido N to be investigated and charged for allowing the irregular tender as the chair of the tender committee and signatory of all land transactions.

A Dr. Nguku who okayed the suitability of the land as a said and who has since been paid a sum of 7 million shillings is also in the list of shame with the report recommending he be interdicted, arrested and charged.
