Fraud –Controller of Budget CoB Margaret Nyakang’o has exposed how the National Treasury is corrupt.
Appearing before the Parliamentary Committee of Finance on Tuesday October 31, the CoB revealed the dirty tricks used by officials at the National Treasury to exaggerate civil servants pay slips so that to steal from them.
She explained that, a few months ago when she noticed that her annual pay had been spruced up three times more than what she gets from the Treasury, she confronted the officials seeking answers as to why this had happened.
“Exaggerations in in the National Treasury.
“Let me give one example. When I was doing the budget for Consolidated Fund Services where my salary stays, I found out that my salary was budgeted at three times more than what I receive. I am the only State officer in my institution and, therefore, there is nothing like confusion there,” she told the committee.
Nyakang’o added that her question, to date, went un answered despite documents from the Treasury which she had stumbled upon indicated the open fraud.
“I asked them why my budget was showing three-times more than what my annual salary is. And it was like that to all the State officers,” she added.
Asked by the Parliamentary Committee what answer she got from the Treasury officials over the report, Ms Nyakango said, no one had bothered to explain this to her.
“What was the answer?” the Committee chair asked.
The Controller of Budget responded saying, she is yet to receive any response on the matter.
“I have not received the answer to-date,” she responded.
Kenyans are now piling pressure on the President and the Ethics and Anti-corruption Commission EACC to fast track the claims and punish any culprit taking part in the internal fraud.
