Key
officials of Anne Waiguru’s Devolution ministry have reportedly
misappropriated Ksh 50 million which was donated by musician Akon to
help in put up lights in the Kibera slum. Key individuals in the
ministry have reportedly lined their pockets with the money while only
putting up just 10 lights while other amounts cannot be accounted for.
The running of the project is also drawing criticism as youths
working on the project were promised up to Ksh 1,000 in allowances but
the much they have been paid is just Ksh 470. Akon’s donation through
the office of the president was not suppose to cater for such fees but
is listed as being used to pay for daily allowance of people doing
manual work in the State House backed project.
The project which has seen the government allocate a mysterious Ksh
500 million for it, is expected to incite the residents against former
Prime Minister Raila Odinga and any of his associates. There are also
questions being raised by local leaders on the Ksh 500 million
allocation as key officials in the ministry cannot properly account for
the money already listed as used from the kitty.
The Kibera sprucing up project is being run under the Devolution
Ministry which is headed by Anne Waiguru. Ms Waiguru is known to have
been previously involved with President Uhuru Kenyatta in a romantic
way. She is also rumoured to have 3 children sired by the President.
Questions are being asked why the sprucing up of Kibera is so urgent
while there are no allocations for Mukuru, Kiambio, Dandora, Mathare and
other slums around Nairobi.
