• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is obvious that hon. Ojode was not fully briefed on what subsequently transpired after the said letter from the police was received in my office. I wish, therefore, to state as follows in regard to the matter: 1. It is, indeed, true that the CID had initially, vide the said letter, forwarded the inquiry file to my office for perusal and directions. This was the first time the CID forwarded the file to my office. 2. The letter of the CID forwarding the file to my office contained five allegations regarding the alleged misappropriation of funds ... view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: However, upon review of the investigations file by office, the recommendation by the CID to close the file was not accepted and instead the police were directed to carry out through and further investigations on identified areas and resubmit the file to the office for further perusal and directions. A long with the directives that we gave, we forwarded to the police a copy of a letter of complaint signed by five aggrieved members of the SACCO and containing serious allegations of fraud against SACCO management and other senior officials to guide the police in their further investigations. This was ... view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On 4th June, 2010, the CID resubmitted the file to my office after covering some of the areas by way of further investigations. view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: The resubmitted file was further reviewed by my office. In the process, it was found that some crucial exhibits were missing from the file. The CID were, therefore, directed to immediately avail the missing exhibits. (vii) On 26th August, 2010, the CID forwarded a few of the missing important exhibits to my office. When Mr. Ojode said that I should answer the Question based on the letter of 2009, he ought to have been briefed that on the same day, the CID were actually forwarding some of the exhibits to my office. (viii). On reviewing the resubmitted file, it became ... view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: From the foregoing, it is quite obvious that the police are either unable or unwilling to conclusively investigate this matter. In the premises, I have given the following directives--- view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me start from (ix). In June, 2010, I received an investigation file relating to a separate, but related matter. The allegations contained in the said file are different, but similar to those in the file submitted earlier on. On perusal of this file, we found that the pattern and the deficiencies in the investigations were the same. (x). In both files, the police appear to acknowledge the difficulties in investigating these matters. I have suggested that a forensic audit be done by an independent institution. The Kenya National Audit Office (KENAO) has been approached, but it ... view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I answered the Question last time, I gave a breakdown of the Kshs7 million. I stated that the file was resubmitted and the KACC, after this explanation, recommended to the Attorney-General that the only person who can be pursued for the amount of about Kshs246,000 is Mr. Mwaliko. Now, I know as a fact that appropriate letters were written by the KACC. When the file leaves me, it goes back to the KACC and they take the administrative matters that are recommended and accepted by me. They, in fact, wrote to the Registrar of Societies who ... view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am just trying to get the documents. I am aware of the document that she is referring to. When the police were investigating this matter, they realized that some key documents were missing. Consequently, they wrote to Harambee Co-operative Sacco and said that they wanted those documents. There is a letter by Mr. Mohamed L. Amin, the officer in charge of the Banking Fraud Investigation Unit addressed to the General Manager of Harambee Co-operative Sacco. I wish to quote part of that letter. It reads: “Our team of investigators is getting difficulties in getting some documents ... view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, following that letter, I have a document from the General Manager, addressed to FOSA Manager, asking for those documents. The document is dated 14th January, 2010. The FOSA Manager then replies to the General Manager that they have been unable to get those documentations and further giving a plausible reason for being unable to get those documentations which are very critical. They say:- “Kindly be advised that the cashiers’ specification forms files might have been taken by the police officers from the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), acting on a court search order sometimes in 2009. “ view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is why I said that there appears to be a passing of responsibility. The Harambee SACCO officials are saying that these documents were taken by the CID sometimes in 2009, pursuant to a court order. The CID are saying: “We do not have the documents, produce them.” I agree that there is everything rotten in Harambee SACCO and it must be unearthed. It appears to me that we cannot rely in the passing of the buck of responsibility between the police and Harambee SACCO. I stand to be corrected; Harambee SACCO actually is a SACCO for ... view
