Murkomen spills the beans on ODM MPs who benefited from scandal

Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen has sensationally claimed powerful ODM MPs close to party leader Raila Odinga received part of the NYS scandal money.
Murkomen said companies linked to Suna East MP Junet Mohamed, a fierce defender of Raila, were paid over Sh100 million in contracts by the Devolution Ministry which was then headed by Waiguru.
He said the MPs are among powerful politicians working round the clock to ensure former Devolution Cabinet Secretary Ann Waiguru is not prosecuted over the NYS scandal.
Junet and Suba MP John Mbadi, he alleged are among high-profile politicians protecting Waiguru from facing the law over the scam in which the taxpayer lost over Sh1 billion.
 
he said in Iten on Saturday as quoted by the Star.
He said the two should be investigated.
Murkomen and Deputy President William Ruto’s aide, Farouk Kibet, are said to have received Sh15 million.
Earlier this month Deputy President were involved in a bitter exchange of words over the National Youth Service (NYS) scandal.
Ruto told Waiguru to take responsibility for the scandal as she was the one in charge of the NYS project when the millions of shillings were stolen.
The DP was categorical saying that it was Waiguru who presided over the scandal and warned that the government would ensure the culprits are prosecuted.
 
Waiguru appeared before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) where she named Ruto’s aide Farouk Kibet and Senator Murkomen as part of those who benefited from the NYS millions.
However, Murkomen now accuses the Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee of failing to live up to its expectations.
he said.
Meanwhile, Mbadi has maintained that Murkomen and Kibet appear before PAC to provide information on their links to the scandal.
