Following allegations
from members of the public and section of MCAs, Samburu Governor Moses
Lenolkulal has come out publicly to defend his county government over alleged
misappropriation of Sh29 million meant for development of the county
infrastructure and other ventures.
According to MCAs, the
Sh29 million was misappropriated between January and June last year and there
have been reports that it was used to purchase goods for the county contrary to
the findings of the Auditor General’s report.
Last week, Lenolkulal
appeared before the Senate Sessional Committee of County Public Accounts and
Investments and shocked the senators when he produced samples of goods he
claimed were acquired by the money said to have been lost.
“Every financial transaction was above board. There is no money which
was lost. We had not updated our books because there was no staff to do so but
now our books are clean,” he told the senators.
