NMG had this story today and from the look of things, it will leave them with egg all over their faces. Not that they mind. They have been doing all in their power to join the gutter press league.
The grand mullah will be going to court tomorrow. He is so pissed off he has uploaded the real statement of the governor on his twitter TL.
If anyone at NMG could only use their faculties kidogo. 5B stolen in 3 years ?? From a budget where 70% is operational expenses like salaries, allowances and fuel for county vehicles. It would mean the governor stole the entire capital budget. Year after year. Really NMG ??
How was the grand heist executed ?? Is it through a complex web of fake companies and phantom contractors ?? Nope.
Apparently the funds were transferred from the county account at CBK to the governor's account through RTGS. And the editorial board allowed the story to run without asking even the basic questions. Jeez, CBK vets each and every transaction on IFMIS.
Anyway, I have noted even an erstwhile level-headed guy like Mutuma mathiu is now a died-in-the-wool uthamaki defender. And he also thinks Sonko would be a great governor. Dunno whether its mid-life crisis.
