Senators, I have another Petition by Mr. Henry Nyabuto Ondieki on alleged misappropriation and diversion of public funds at Chemelil Sugar Company Limited. Pursuant to Standing Order No. 220 (1) a and 225 (2) (b), I hereby report to the Senate that a petition has been submitted through the Clerk by Mr. Henry Nyabuto Ondieki, a resident if Kisii County, regarding alleged misappropriation and diversion of funds at Chemelil Sugar Company Limited. In the Petition, the petitioner states: (a) That the management team of Chemelil Sugar Company Limited, with the knowledge and participation of the Board, have misappropriated over Ksh265million being funds sourced from the National Government towards refurbishment and maintenance works at the factory. (b) That further, the factory has internally borrowed from the sugar farmers a sum of Ksh180million which has resulted in farmers not being paid for cane delivered to the factory from the year 2014 to date. (c) That the said funds have not been utilised towards the stated purpose for which they were obtained and the Management has failed to account for the same. (d) That there are also cases of conflict of interest and abuse of office at the factory whereby senior offices trade with the Company through proxies and without disclosing such conflict of interest. Hon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Order No. 226 I shall allow comments, observations or clarifications in relation to the Petition for not more than thirty minutes."
