Tuesday, May 28, 2024 - Garissa County Governor Nathif Jama is on the spot as more allegations of financial misconduct continue to surface.
According to flight records, the
governor who fled to London amidst a corruption probe is scheduled to return to
Nairobi on May 31, 2024.
Contrary to expectations within
Nathif's camp, his absence has not quelled the mounting protests about his
administration’s handling of county funds.
An insider source revealed that
only Sh 16 million out of the Sh 100 million bursary funds were disbursed as
per IFMIS records dated August 28, 2023.
On March 25, 2023, Governor
Jama publicly announced a Sh 100 million bursary allocation but only 16% of
this amount was reportedly dispersed.
The rest of the money was looted
by Jama and his close associates and this left hundreds of students out of
school due to lack of fees.
Governor Jama also allocated Sh
100 million for revolving funds but only Sh 40 million was disbursed.
The remaining Sh 60 million was
looted by the governor and his close associates
These revelations come on top of
earlier accusations of widespread corruption and mismanagement within Governor
Jama’s administration.
However, the Ethics and
Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has remained mum on the Garissa County
looting due to the bribes the commission officers have been receiving from Jama.
