It is often said, that three things cannot be long hidden from the world; the sun, the moon and the truth. And also, throughout history, the fall of great men has been caused by a woman. In the case today, we open the lid on an illicit affair that continues to rob a county of its desired development.
The county of Narok is on sharp focus as the former Chief Executive Committee Member (CEC) for Finance Mr. Morgan Siloma (demoted to less lucrative docket of health) is said to be looting county funds and enjoying it with Nairobi Nominated Senator Millicent Omanga.
The steamy relationship doesn’t care about the residents of Narok County who continue to suffer poor state of infrastructure, underdevelopment and lack of medicine in hospitals, while the Health Boss squanders the wealth in Nairobi.
According to a source, the senator who unsuccessfully vied for Nairobi Woman Rep position during the last elections has even received a gift from the CEC Mr. Morgan. He has bought her a multi-million house in Nairobi’s leafy suburb of Kileleshwa.
The nominated senator was adversely mentioned in the Prisons Department Ksh4.8 billion tender scandal where it is said her firm Milways Enterprises was awarded a Ksh200 million tender to supply G3 riffle slings at a cost of Ksh5000 each. She would have ripped off the government as the slings only cost Ksh200 each.
It was reported that the scandal was stopped by the new Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) Twalib Mbarak. Mr Mbarak stopped payments right before disbursement.
It is open knowledge that Millicent Omanga was picked from the streets selling bedsheets and molded by Deputy resident William Ruto where she was appointed as a non-executive director of Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen).
Millicent Omanga has nothing more than to tow the line of a man who has been described as the high-priest of corruption.
Narok county is not heaven under Governor Samuel Tunai. The rot is deep.
The CEC for Health illicit affairs with the nominated senator is not the only illicit thing he is engaging in. He is alleged to have used his position in the lucrative docket of finance to influence the award of tenders to his friends and his proxy firms in the county.
It is an open secret that Narok County is pro-DP Ruto and that the CEC is one of those ‘mandated’ to steal to fund Tangatanga and DP Ruto, as things stand.
The Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) rally that was held in the county last month is one of the PR exercises that cost over Ksh400 million that Tunai uses to cling to power and avoid the onslaught on anti-BBI governors.
Narok Governor Tunai
In 2013, it was revealed that the Narok Governor Samuel Tunai owned a 2,359.6 acres of land most of which borders the famous Maasai Mara Game Reserve.
The land is said to have been taken ‘forcefully’ by the ‘Tunai brothers’. A powerful MCA going by name Kuyo Ole Kijape and Tunai tool it from the Esiria Maasais.
Being extremely wealthy has not dented Tunai’s greed for more wealth. He has also stolen massively from the county.
The governor who is on his second term is said to be planning to run as a Member of National Assembly for Kilgoris. A move which a section of residents has vowed to block vehemently due to his underdevelopment and corruption records.
In Tunai’s 2.359.6 acres of land, a small settlement had formed but was burned down in 2003 in the deep of the night. 300 families were left homeless.
In 2015, Governor Tunai refused to declare the total amount it collects from the Masai Mara Game Reserve before the Senate.
At that time, Tunai has given the revenue collection contract irregularly to KAPS — an electronic ticketing firm that offers car parking payment solutions, access control and revenue management systems.
This scandal was never successfully prosecuted.
However, though the Governor said that he doesn’t know the how much is collected, the firm KAPS have a figure of Ksh1.097 billion in a period of 11 months.
In 2017, ODM Party leader Raila Odinga accused Governor Tunai and DP Ruto of looting Ksh3 billion illegally from the Maasai Mara though a shadowy firm.
It was the CEC who was sent by DP Ruto and Governor Tunai to deny the above claims.
It is often said, that three things cannot be long hidden from the world; the sun, the moon and the truth. And also, throughout history, the fall of great men has been caused by a woman. In the case today, we opened the lid on an illicit affair that continues to rob a county of its desired development ans also on a Governor that has sanctioned the looting.
