• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Further, Ms. Catherine Namuye did not present any evidence on her allegation that the Board was involved in the procurement process of the alleged consultancy services by Quorandum Limited. Instead, there were many blame games. When we talked to the Acting CEO, she said that the Board approved the payments. The Chairman also said that the Board view

But they were unable to present any evidence other than fictitious board minutes that the Committee, later on, was of the view that were not accurate. Later on, we made a conclusion that the whole thing was a conspiracy between the Chair and the Acting CEO. view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Let me say again that the Acting CEO was acting once, then down the line it is alleged that she was confirmed. Three months down the line, we were again told that she was acting. These are some of the issues, as a Committee, we could not understand why the parent Ministry which has a representative and an alternate Board member did not act and allowed this critical organisation to have an Acting CEO for over two years and without a Company Secretary since the formation of the YEDF. These are issues we found wanting. Three other former CEO exited ... view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The responsibility of an Accounting Officer under the Constitution, under Article 68(1)(a) and (b) of the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act requires that resources ought to be utilised in a legal, authorised and effective way hence Ms. Namuye could not cry foul. When we pushed her, at one point she said that she had been victimised by the Board because the Board wanted certain business favours. Another time, she said that she had been pressurised by the Chair and another time she said that she had been pressurised by the Ministry officials. All these, we realised later on that she ... view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Ms. Catherine Namuye the then Accounting Officer violated Section 7 to Section 72 of the PFM Act, 2012 by allowing Mr. Bruce Odhiambo unfettered use of Government facilities. You could see the conspiracy between the CEO and the Chair. The Chairman was given all the privileges of an Accounting Officer or an executive chairman. This is a clear illustration that the then Chairman and Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) had issues that were of interest to them and eventually this led to the loss of hundreds of millions of shillings. Catherine Namuye, knowingly, engaged herself in improper conduct as defined ... view

• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: transaction. When we analysed these documents critically, we realised that these were all blatant attempts by Ms. Catherine Namuye and her business cohorts to change issues, so that she could project herself as a victim of a board conspiracy and this was not the case. Ms. Catherine Namuye was the architect of the whole fraudulent activity with her cohort, Mr. Mukuria Ngamau of Quorandum Limited. Eventually, the Youth Enterprise Development Fund (YEDF) lost a whopping Kshs180 million plus. Once Mr. Mukuria Ngamau, who is the sole proprietor of Quorandum Limited got the cash, he immediately made several suspicious cash withdrawals ... view

• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: You remember recently we have had challenges with the National Youth Service (NYS). We have two critical youth-related institutions in this country, namely, the NYS and the YEDF. In the last two years, these two institutions have been bedevilled with challenges related to financial misappropriation. Where will our youth resort to for financial, technological and other forms of assistances? Another observation that we made in this investigation is that His Excellency the President, via Gazette Notice of 15th April 2016, in accordance with Section 7(3) of the State Corporations Act 446, revoked the appointment of Mr. Bruce Odhiambo. We want ... view
