Another Uhuru Kenyatta's relative alleged to be in a 300 million tender scandal

Just a couple of days after CORD leader Raila Odinga called Uhuruto’s government as the most corrupt in history, the opposition media outlet Kenyan Weekly has come out with allegations that another of Uhuru Kenyatta’s relatives is involved in multi-million graft.

Raila Odinga had called out Uhuru Kenyatta on the latest scandal to rock the Jubilee government saying the involvement of his sister and cousin gave him no room to wiggle but accept responsibility for the corruption in his government.

Now the Kenyan Weekly has revealed that another relative of Uhuru Kenyatta is in another scandal at the same ministry.

The paper revealed that a man named Murugi Mugo sai dto be Beth Mugo’s son “hatched an elaborate plot to defraud the National Quality Control Laboratory of a staggering Sh300 million.”

‘The powerful cartel had fogged payment vouchers worth over Sh180 million to be wired to some eight companies when the scheme was busted

It is, however, suspected that they had succeeded in stealing over Sh100 million from the State agency. There are fears the cartel with the backing of people in high places have used a similar trick to steal hundreds of millions from various parastatals.

“This is to draw your attention to interception on 19th May, 2016 of forged payment vouchers amounting to Sh180,299,000 for purported reagents to the laboratory which had undergone several payment processes up to the Chief Finance Officer,” NQCL Director Hezekiah Chepkwony wrote to Muraguri,’ the paper further reports quoting a government official.

This latest opposition salvo will see an already worn out administration face further scrutiny especially after each corruption allegation turns out to be true.
