On Tuesday, July 14, Bahati Member of Parliament Kimani Ngunjiri expressed his disappointment over the alleged Ksh. 30 million spent by Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho and Suna East MP Junet Mohamed to visit former Prime Minister Raila Odinga in Dubai.
According to Ngunjiri, the Ksh. 30 million could have been better utilized to benefit Kenyans, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Junet and Joho spent Ksh. 30 million on a jet to go and visit a patient, they are not remembering that there are people who lack jobs, Ksh. 30 million is what was publicised and maybe when you add up everything it could come to Ksh. 1 billion," he scolded.
He further noted that the funds could have been channeled into the Kazi Mtaani program to benefit youths, especially in Nakuru county.
Junet and Joho left the country on Thursday, July 9 for Dubai to visit Raila who had undergone minor back surgery and was recuperating in the Middle East state.
On Sunday, July 13, Raila jetted back into the country after a three-week medical stay in Dubai aboard the luxurious Aviation Airline Airbus.
