Saturday, November 18, 2023 -Busia County Senator Okiya Omtatah has claimed that the sh 17b oil by Ann Njeri is a State officers’ job.
Though he did not provide any documentation to substantiate his claims, the lawmaker has reported that he believes the business deal is an inside job.
Omtatah said the sh 17 billion used in the buying of the oil is government-funded and challenged minitries – both trade and energy to prove him wrong.
“I challenge CS Chirchir and CS Murkomen to stop fooling the nation and come clean on their relationship with Alice Njeri, whom I reasonably believe is their front in the heist, whom they have fallen out with,” Omtatah dared.
These monies were irregularly withdrawn from the Ministry of Energy accounts, having been deposited from the Treasury three times since October 2022.
“As per the Statement of Actual Revenue and Net Exchequer Issues gazetted by Ukur Yatani, the then CS Treasury, vide Kenya Gazette Notice No. 12580 of October 6 2022, the ministry withdrew from the Consolidated Fund some sh 16,637,588,580 in September 2022, purportedly for subsidies to private financial enterprises,” Omtatah said.
Omtatah was saying this just one day after opposition leader Raila Odinga also exposed through a heavy dossier, how the current administration entered into a dubious oil purchase deal with gulf countries.
