WAJWASCO The Den of corruption
Wajir Water and Sewerage Company is the new hotbed of corruption headed by an illegally appointed Managing Director Roble Subow, our own Jeff Koinange.
For less than 3 months in office, Roble has siphoned approximately Ksh 20M meant for the operation costs for the Water and Sanitation Development Project. These were costs meant to procure and pay for services such as Catering services, Fuel and Lubricants, stationaries.
In a bid to shamelessly siphon Wajwasco World Bank funded project, Roble has decided to partner with a top Manager at Grand Oasis to fleece the World Bank accounts. Roble has paid the said hotel ficticious invoices of 7 million, an amount that is unbelievable to be used for such an expenditure.
Ironically, Wajwasco had no much world bank related activities that neccessiated such a huge expenditure. Its also noted that Roble through one fugitive Accountant is forging Former Managing Directors signatures to prepare backdated supporting documents to pay such invoices. This is unethical and against the rules of the land.
The illegally appointed Managing Director is also on record of solliciting funds from the suppliers for their payments to be effected. This is contrary to the World Bank policy where payment to suppliers is suppose to be free and with no 10% or 20% kick backs.
The World Bank also requires the Managing Director to make all payments within 3 days of receipt of the money in the company accounts. This is done so as to ensure no misuse of funds happens and suppliers are promptly paid. Its now 3 weeks and the genuine suppliers are yet to be paid.
The Government agencies incharge are requested to swiftly act to recover this lost money and stop the ongoing looting spree in Wajwasco.
