A GOVERNOR WHO has consistently scored highly for his
work could be staring at trouble. There are reports, some already sent to
investigative agencies, that the governor’s spouse is siphoning public funds.
It’s alleged the amount could be up to Sh200 million. The scheme involves
falsifying documents to justify fraudulent payments and forgery of signatures
of former county officials. Some funds meant for genuine contractors were
reportedly channeled to proxies and shell companies. The governor is also
under fire for erecting billboards with personal images across the expansive
devolved unit.
