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.
