The kenya anti-corruption commission wants deputy prime minister musalia mudavadi and nairobi mayor godfrey majiwa investigated over the city hall cemetery scandal.

Also targeted for investigation by the graft authority is mr sammy kirui, the local government permanent secretary, who was suspended on monday. The graft agency also recommends the prosecution of 10 people.

Giving details of an alleged conspiracy to embezzle millions of shillings through the scandal, kacc, however, said its investigations were incomplete. In a report tracing the start of plans to buy the 120-acre land in mavoko, to the payment of millions of shillings, kacc lists senior officers, their alleged hatchet men and accounts that were allegedly used in defrauding the government of more than sh170 million.

The plot in mavoko, valued at sh30 million was bought by the city council for use as a cemetery at a cost of sh283 million. City hall officials had advised the council that the land was useless as a cemetery. Out of the purchase price of sh283 million, kacc said there was a clear understanding among the various players that only sh110 million was the actual cost.

The report, addressed to the office of prime minister raila odinga and head of public service francis muthaura, lists names of senior officials at the city council, local government ministry, lawyers and businessmen, and the amounts they were allegedly paid. “ksh120 million was set aside as benefit to public servants to wit:

city council of nairobi officials, treasury and ministry of local government,” said the report, signed by kacc acting director j p mutonyi, dated march 8.

In all, the report says, the money was shared between 17 people, with a firm of lawyers getting sh59 million. The report suggested the lawyers were proxies for a top politician.

However, the director of communications at mr mudavadi’s office, mr kibisu kabatesi, dismissed the kacc demands, saying his boss had no association with those named in the scandal, and was the only one pushing for the truth.

That is why you PNU dunderheads should make a pilgrimage to the PMs office and bow down deeply. Now you see the import of Raila's risks. Had he kept quiet during the maize and Education fund fiascos, his holy toad emperor would have done nothing. Now Raila has forced him to act on everything. Had he not done so, Raila was anyway going to suspend them and see the toad make a fool of himself by revoking the suspensions again. Well done NSIS for alerting the toad king Kibaki on this one...

I think we should not just be content that they were fired...these are criminals as they have stolen from the public and they should face trial and jailed if found guilty....
Thats the process isn't it?

Haki this is the greatest thing Kibaki has ever done in those
two terms he served as president.

People have been going over the limits and doing thing za kutudharau sisi wakenya.

So all those people should face the law and most importantly,
money illegally arquired to be recovered.

Those Kiruis and Gakuos, nyinyi ni wabaya, bure kabisa.
