Opening the lid on what he described as the “scandal of the year,” Mr Atwoli alleged the fund’s acting chief executive, Mr Richard Lang’at, working in cahoots with the board of trustees,
had approved Sh5.053 billion for putting up roads and a sewerage system in the new estate.
He said the tender committee met the “same day the purported note by Mr Lang’at was circulated” and awarded the contract.
“What a scandal,” he declared before adding: “This is the highest fraud of the fund I have ever witnessed since becoming a board member.”
