"content": "recollection, he would say that “as a chairman, I was entitled to an executive car, as a chairman, I was entitled to this or that”. Literally, the guy did not know his core mandate was just to chair board meeting. Slowly, he turned himself to an Accounting Officer. This is what led to the serious financial mismanagement at the YEDF. The Chairman, Mr. Bruce Odhiambo, should also be investigated, charged and prosecuted for violating the provisions of Section 15 of the Public Officer Ethics Act. He personally selected like-minded officers at the Enterprise. The board was not given all the enabling information during its meetings. Other officers were not allowed to even see some of those transactions. Eventually, the function of the YEDF was reduced to interaction between an acting CEO, Catherine Namuye, and this funny Chairman called Mr. Bruce Odhiambo. Mr. Bruce Odhiambo should also be charged with money laundering under Sections 3 and 4 of the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2009. The other person of interest is Mukuria Ngamau, director and shareholder of Quorandum Limited. Mr. Mukuria Ngamau projected himself as an accomplished business person who was engaged or did clean business with a number of international organisations. One of the companies that he mentioned was Safaricom Kenya Limited. Shortly after our investigation, we realised that the only business that Mr. Mukuria Ngamau ever did was this fraudulent transaction with the YEDF. Therefore, he should be investigated, charged and prosecuted with conspiracy to defraud the public and be made to repay the entire amount. Mr. Bruce Odhiambo should be investigated again, charged and prosecuted for the acquisition, possession or use of proceeds of crime. The lavish apartment that he acquired through the YEDF money should be repossessed because that belongs to the taxpayers. Thirdly, Mr. Mukuria Ngamau should also be investigated, charged and prosecuted for violation of Section 27(4) of the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act of 2005. He purported to have participated in a tendering process which, after our investigation, we realised that he did not participate in. Fourthly, we also recommend that Mr. Mukuria Ngamau be investigated, charged and prosecuted for giving false evidence under oath to the Committee contrary to Section 21 of the National Assembly Powers and Privileges Act. Even after he was subjected to an oath, Mr. Mukuria Ngamau continued to mislead the Committee. He was severally reminded that the information he was giving us was misleading, inaccurate and was meant to subvert the course of justice. Eventually, we realised whatever he gave lacked evidential value and eventually the Committee declared him a hostile witness. ` Fifthly, Mr. Mukuria Ngamau should be investigated, charged and prosecuted for acquisition, possession and use of proceeds of crime. After our analysis, we realised that through his well-choreographed transactions, other than the huge transactions he has had with YEDF, all his accounts were dormant. Therefore, our conclusion is that this is something he designed in order to defraud the taxpayer this huge amount and eventually got the entire transaction with the connivance of Mr. Bruce Odhiambo and Ms. Catherine Namuye."
