    "content": "On 8th June, 2009 the Chairman of the Postal Corporation of Kenya received a letter from members of staff on serious irregularities in Nyanza region. The letter alleged that the then Postmaster-General, Mr. Fred Odhiambo was constructing a private house in his rural home using vehicles belonging to the Postal Corporation of Kenya. The driver of the vehicle and the foreman were both claiming per diem and night allowances to do the illegal construction work. The Postal Corporation of Kenya’s Audit and Investigations Department was tasked to investigate the matter. Investigations confirmed that Mr. Fred Odhiambo was using Postal Corporation of Kenya’s vehicle and staff for the construction of his private house. By the time the investigations had been completed, Mr. Fred Odhiambo had been removed from the Postal Corporation of Kenya and relieved of his duties as the Chief Executive Officer. The investigations were conducted by the Postal Corporation of Kenya internal investigations branch who forwarded their recommendations to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for necessary action. The CID later wrote to the Postal Corporation of Kenya informing the corporation that the Attorney-General advised that the matter be handled administratively."
