<<<Shock as Migori governor buys Ksh 1.2m bed using county funds>>>C&P
Speaking in Migori town, Kakamega senator Bonny Khalwale who is the chairman of the Senate Public Accounts and Investment Committee disclosed that his committee has already summoned governor Obado to appear before its members and explain several issues contained in the government audit report including that of him allegedly purchasing a family bed worth Sh1.2million while using the public money without following the procurement processes.
Other unconfirmed report currently going on in the public within Migori is that governor Obado is currently constructing a multi-million double storey palatial house with 38 rooms in his rural Rapogi home. His personal assistant Caspal Obiero who is mentioned adversely in the audit report for having withdrawn unexplained Sh16 million is also building another palatial house at his Ombo Kokelo rural home in Central Kanyamkago location, Uriri district.
The report also contained the startling claims that the Migori county government made a down payment of Sh15.3 million to Kericho Toyota Motor for the purchase of two Land Cruisers ambulances, but six months down the line, the vehicles have yet to be delivered to the county government, and fears persist that the deal could turn out to be another phantom as the ambulances may not be delivered at all to county made that down payment to the tune of Sh15.3.
Governor Obado is said to have recently acquired two new tractors for his personal use, and the residents wanted the source of these tractors also investigated so as to ascertain whether they were bought with the county government money or by his own finances.
