Thursday, August 22, 2024-A senior official at the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) Eng. Jackson Magondu is embroiled in multiple scandals.
Magondu, who is reportedly in the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC)
black book was demoted from his position as deputy director following
allegations of exploiting ladies in exchange for job opportunities as well as
his involvement in irregular tender awards.
Magondu, formerly a deputy director-general, is implicated in
multimillion-shilling corruption deals, defrauding the agency, contractors and
the government by securing kickbacks through unscrupulous means.
One firm involved in these deals is allegedly linked to his secret lover.
While in charge of KeRRA's Special Projects Department, a key position that
oversaw the 'Roads 10,000KM Programme,' Magondu is said to have amassed
significant wealth by exploiting tender processes.
His involvement in the corruption deals and exploitation of ladies looking for
jobs has left a trail of victims while
Magondu flaunts his wealth in the company of numerous girlfriends.
Contractors vying for projects under this program reportedly had to agree to
pay Ksh 100,000 per month to Magondu with sums ranging between Ksh 1 million to
Ksh 2 million required to approve certificates for payment.
Magondu allegedly flaunts his wealth through numerous properties in Nairobi and
Mombasa.
He remains a controversial figure in the road development sector with many
questioning how he continues to evade the legal repercussions faced by others
including his "twin sister" Margaret Wanja Muthui - a former manager
at KeRRA who was successfully charged and had her property seized by the state
in 2023.
