Governor Mutua: Fisadi au mchapakazi?

Auditor paints a different picture of Machakos County

By MOSES NJAGIH
NAIROBI, KENYA:The Auditor General's report into the affairs of Machakos County has revealed irregularities in procurement procedures and possible embezzlement of millions of shillings.

The Auditor General cites alleged financial improprieties committed by the Governor Alfred Mutua's administration, including some directly implicating him.

Mutua has been publicly hailed over the manner he has been running the county.

But now the governor will be hard-pressed to deflect the negative publicity that will come from the auditor's depiction of Machakos as reeling under financial irregularities and demands surcharging of those culpable.

The report is, however, quick to point out that the handing over and taking over of assets and liabilities from the defunct local authorities and councils was not done as expected because the Transition Authority did not guide the process.

The report prepared between January and June 30 last year, claims Dr Mutua incurred a Sh7.5 million "confidential expenditure" whose payment vouchers were not supported by any documentation.

Monday, Mutua did not return our calls to his mobile phone number as we sought his response to the allegations in the report.

The auditor is also questioning the use of Sh2.9 million of public funds towards the funeral expenses of the late Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo, where Sh1 million was given to Mutua to offer as contributions.

The Auditor General's office is querying the use of the money, given the late Mutula was the senator of Makueni and not Machakos.

ADDRESS SYSTEM

Also singled out by the auditor is the payment of another Sh1 million.
According to the auditor, the function was attended by the Head of State and thus the public address system was provided for by the Presidential Press Services "thus putting the integrity of the Sh1 million paid for the service to question".

"The expenditure of Sh2.9 million is an irregular one and the culpable officers should be surcharged for the apparent loss in a nugatory expenditure of public funds," states the auditor in his damning report.

The report also points out Sh154,000 payment to a doctor as imprest for baiting stray dogs in Machakos town and its environs.

On the Sh7.5 million "confidential expenditure" where Mutua is indicated as the payee, the auditor states that the amount was not accounted for and thus his office could not confirm if it was lawful.

The auditor's report also punched holes into the procurement and purchase of 16 second-hand vehicles for county executives costing Sh32. 9 millions, saying there were no inspection reports, which were provided for audit verification, among other irregularities.

"These vehicles were imported and registered in different individual names, though supplied by one dealer, a clear indication that the dealer did not have the capacity to supply but acted as an agent to various owners," states the report.

Further, the auditor says the vehicles were fitted with private registration numbers and by the time of writing the report, the same had not been transferred to the county government, and were thus prone to misuse or even theft.

GOODS AND SERVICES

Dr Mutua's administration is further accused of irregularly recruiting 156 employees, who incur the county Sh13 million per month in wages.

They were allegedly hired without the positions being advertised or the involvement of the County Public Service Board, which had not been constituted. The report also unearths irregular procurement of goods and services for the Machakos County Investors Conference at Maanzoni, where an expenditure of Sh10.5 million was incurred.

Mkuu Ab-Titchaz,

kuna sehemu humu nilitoa mawazo kuhusu mwenendo wa Mutua. Kwanza niliuliza hizo hela kazipata wapi kwakuwa ninavyojua Mutua mbali na kuwa msemaji wa serikali na kuwa mkufunzi wa chuo kikuu huko Uarabuni hatujawasikia kuwa, anafanya biashara. Sidhani ile kazi ya pembeni ya kuigiza ilimpa pesa kiasi kikubwa. Na pia nikauliza kweli hizo hela anazomwaga kweli ni kuwasaidia wananchi au kuna kitu nyuma ya pazia?...na huo moyo wa kuwasadia watu kwanini uanze sasa?...na sijamsikia Mutua akitaja chanzo cha huo utajiri wake.

Kwetu sisi ukiona mwanao ambaye unamjua kabisa kuwa hana uwezo analeta vitu vya thamani nyumbani lazima umuulize umepata wapi. Kwa hiyo wana-Machakos wanatakiwa waulize Mutua hiyo pesa amepata wapi? Pia si vizuri kwa jamii kumtegemea mtu mmoja binafsi kuwaletea maendeleo,mwisho mutakuwa watumwa wake. Haya maendeleo yanatakiwa yafanywe na watu wote wa county na si kusubiri Mutua alete vitu vyake binafsi kwa ajili ya kuleta maendeleo. Hiyo ni hatari kwa ustawi wa jamii.

Kwangu mimi anachofanya Mutua ni RUSHWA kwa malengo yake binafsi,na si ajabu hiyo ni hela ambazo Magavana wengine wameanza kukimbilia mahakamani kuwa wasichunguzwe.

No good deed goes unnoticed and it is for this that Machakos governor Dr. Alfred Mutua has become the best governor to report about. Why? you ask? well because all he seems to do are good deeds, mostly beneficial to his locals.
Even before we are done talking about the new people’s park he recently opened which you can read about here, Mutua has now unveiled 200 new ambulances for Machakos. In his speech Mutua said that many children in Machakos are called ‘Nzia’ as they are born on the road side. Mutua said,
“Getting to hospital for emergency treatment is essential to save lives. That is why while I was campaigning, I promised that our mothers will no longer be ferried on wheelbarrows and donkeys to go and give birth.
Today, I am pleased to fulfill that promise. We are unveiling a Health Care program of Kshs. 1 billion.”

Speaking when he launched 70 ambulances for his County on Tuesday, Mutua refuted the report saying he was only focused on developing Machakos/FILE

NAIROBI Kenya, Feb 18 – Machakos County Governor Alfred Mutua now says he is ready to answer any question arising from the Auditor General's report that indicates he has misappropriated funds. Speaking when he launched 70 ambulances for his County on Tuesday, Mutua refuted the report saying he was only focused on developing Machakos.

The Auditor General has released a report indicating that millions of shillings meant for County development had been misappropriated.
"All the money that we are spending in the County, we are squeezing each and every shilling to ensure services are provided to our people. We've seen people running around with questions… and am saying each and every question asked to us, we shall explain because we have nothing to hide in Machakos," he stressed.
"I wish to say that we are able to achieve all our development projects because we planned ahead even before we prepared our budget so as to capture our manifesto promises. We are also adhering to strict procurement guidelines and transparency."
Mutua maintained that his focus was only in helping the populace of his County.

"We have set reserve prices so we get goods and services at market prices and even as the case of these new ambulances, we managed to get them below the market prices. All the money we have is for the people and not for corrupt elements and we make sure every shilling gives us value," he stated.
"Some people have wondered; does Machakos have more money than other counties. We are doing this because we are spending all money for the people and not for corrupt networks."
He said it was not business as usual in the county "just as the President and his deputy say, we are in a digital generation."

Mkuu Ab-Titchaz kuna sehemu humu nilitoa mawazo kuhusu mwenendo wa Mutua,kwanza niliuliza hizo hela kazipata wapi kwakuwa ninavyojua Mutua mbali na kuwa msemaji wa serikali na kuwa mkufunzi wa chuo kikuu huko Uarabuni hatujawasikia kuwa, anafanya biashara,na sidhani ile kazi ya pembeni ya kuigiza ilimpa pesa kiasi kikubwa,na pia nikauliza kweli hizo hela anazomwaga kweli ni kuwasaidia wananchi au kuna kitu nyuma ya pazia,na huo moyo wa kuwasadia watu kwani uanze sasa ,na sijamsikia Mutua akitaja chanzo cha huo utajiri wake.Kwetu sisi ukiona mwanao ambaye unamjua kabisa kuwa hana uwezo analeta vitu vya thamani nyumbani lazima umuulize umepata wapi,kwa hiyo wana Machakos wanatakiwa waulize Mutua hiyo pesa amepata wapi,pia si vizuri kwa jamii kumtegemea mtu mmoja binafsi kuwaletea maendeleo,mwisho mutakuwa watumwa wake,haya maendeleo yanatakiwa yafanywe na watu wote wa county na si kusubiri Mutua alete vitu vyake binafsi kwa ajili ya kuleta maendeleo hiyo ni hatari kwa ustawi wa jamii,kwangu mimi anachofanya Mutua ni RUSHWA kwa malengo yake binafsi,na si ajabu hiyo ni hela ambazo Magavana wengine wameanza kukimbilia mahakamani kuwa wasichunguzwe.

hatumii pesa binafsi au vitu vyake.kila county ina mgao kutoka treasury na machakos walipata billioni kama tatu ksh kama sikosei.halafu kuna domestic taxes. kwa sasa county nyingi tu zimeshindwa kuabsorb hizi hela.yeye ametumia za county yake.kama amewajibika swala nyingine hilo lakini hukuna hata peni yake hapo.taxes za wananchi.

 

[Edzeame]

mfianchi, wazo lako imenifurahisha pale umeharibu nikusema pesa ya uigizaji haitoshi yeye Kuwa na uwezo wa kuleta manedeleo. pesa alizotumia kununua ambulensi na magari za wafanyakazi wa umma IMO chini ya millioni mia tatu..

kuna uwezekano anasema ukweli, huyu mwenye kudeal na kutoa pesa kuenda kwenye kaunti, anapaswa kuulizwa kama pesa ilitolewa kwenda kaunti zote 47,,,. manake machakos tunaona matunda ya pesa ya bajeti. wale wengine 46 hawaguswi wala hawatajwi na vyombo vya habari wala EACC.


kuna gavana mwingine amefungua ofisi marekani na pesa ya umma anasema ofisi hiyo in ya mawasiliano na mawakala wake kule marekani. hawa mbona hawatajwi??? pesa hii ya misafara na kubook hotel I za kifahari inaweza chimbia vijiji visima vya maji na kujenga mashule kadha. hata hiyo mahakama naona ishakua kizuizi cha maendeleo kwa kila gavana anataka aitumie kujikinga wao name ufisadi yao kana kwamba mahakama ndio iliwachagua. wakati wa kupiga siasa kwenye luninga ulikwisha kazi ianze sasa.

mkuu unatatizo mutua anajionyesha kana kwamba pesa ni zake. pesa in za wananchi was Kenya. sioni ubaya wowote hapo. kilicho cha kustajabisha ni kuwa kunatokea tetesi. halafu pia hio ripoti inasemekana INA hitilafu nyingi.

swali in tasisi gani inayoshughulika na uwajibjkaji wa magavana. mahakama inaelewaje kile wananchi wanahitaji kule mashinani Kujaribu kutatua mizozo zao. katiba ya Kenya jnasema vipi?? kwa nini gavana asiyeweza kueleza matumizi yake ya fedha azidi kukwama ofisini. hizi ni siasa ,zisizoleta maendeleo..

Anajiandaa vizuri kwa urais.

Sawa mkuu lakini sasa jinsi hiyo misaada inayotoka inakuwa kama ni mali au ni fedha zake binafsi Mutua ndio anatoa wakati ni hela ya walipa kodi wa Kenya,kosa analofanya Mutua kwa maoni yangu ni kuwa anafanya hayo kama ni kutoa hiyo hela kwa mfuko wake yeye mwenyewe binafsi,hebu linganisha je umewahi kumsikia raisi Uhuru Kenyata anapotofungu a miradi akijisifia kama ni mwenye hizo pesa,lazima pia mutua awe muwazi kwenye kutoa kandarasi na huko ndiko kuna 10% nasikia Mutua ana udikteta flani.

Mutua 'launches' Machakos First Lady

LIGHT MOMENT:The photo that Machakos Governor Dr Alfred Mutua posted on his Facebook page yesterday

Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua with First Lady Lillian Nganga during the opening of Machakos amphitheater on February 15

Wednesday, February 19, 2014 - 00:00 -- BY STAR TEAM

MACHAKOS Governor Alfred Mutua yesterday caused a stir after he posted a photo on social media with a lady who he captioned as the First Lady.

"Sharing a light moment with the Machakos First Lady Lillian during the launch of the Machakos County Comprehensive Health Care Program at the Machakos Stadium," he posted on Facebook. The picture posted yesterday was taken when Mutua flagged off 70 new ambulances for his county.

Within the first one hour of the posting, more than 700 people had liked the picture while more than 170 people had commented.

Some commended Mutua having a "beautiful wife" but others posted photos of a lady called Josephine declaring that this was the "First Lady" they knew.

Someone posted a link to a story in the Standard Newspaper in November last year. The story about governors and their wives said Mutua's wife is called Josephine Thitu Mutua, who holds a Bachelor's degree in Pharmacy, a master's degree in Public health and a Doctorate in Pharmacy. "Together with Dr Mutua they have three children: twins aged four and the eldest child aged seven," the Standard wrote.

On Facebook Bwire Ojiambo said Machakos is ahead "from development to first lady."

Christine Mwiti and Jane Gichuhi wondered whether he had changed wives and 'Surprised Sarah' wondered "what happened to Josephine Thitu Mutua."

"We were high in anticipation and speculation!!!!! Pretty First Lady. Pretty stuff you are doing in Machakos," said Sammy Kitula.

This week Mutua has also come under fire from the Auditor General who handed over a report to senators querying Sh35 million of expenditure between January to June 2013.
