In Summary
- Sambili accuses Youth kitty team of malice in sacking the CEO
At the same time, MPs Simon Mbugua (Kamukunji) and Fred Kapondi (Mt Elgon) backed Prof Sambili and urged the board to quit.
At a press conference at Parliament on Tuesday, Mr Mbugua also supported the reinstatement of the fund’s chief executive.
He said a report of the Auditor-General for the first year of the fund’s existence had established that Sh250 million had been looted.

Can the Board tell us why Mr Wario should be fired or disciplined if it is not a witchhunt what crimes of omission or commission has he committed and yet KACC has cleared him of any wrongdoing .What does the law say and who is the appointing authority .Due process must be followed both in hiring and firing

Sambili is a forthright woman. She was popular in Egerton as a down to earth woman of high moral integrity. I therefore do not recognise some of the things I read about her in the press.

Generally I don't agree with Sambili, but on this one, she is right. The board is fishy and I hope they are reading this.

In this case one of these, The Board or Management, has to be corrupt. The minister should act accordingly. Accusations and counter accusations will not help.

Keep politics out of this for heavens sake. The board will frustrate Wario believe me you. They will never agree on any proposals he makes.
