Published on July 5, 2019, an Auditor General's report for the 2015/2016 financial year raised concerns about the cost and tendering process of the swimming pool, which was procured through a strict tendering process.
Concerned Citizens NGO, led by CEO Bradley Ouna, has written to the Director of Public Prosecutions and the DCI to investigate the alleged misappropriation of funds in Embakasi West Constituency.
According to Ouna, their research indicates that a swimming pool of that caliber should cost approximately Sh. 4.5 Million or Sh. 5 Million only, leaving questions about the whereabouts of the remaining funds.
Ouna also questioned the cost of driving classes for Embakasi Youth, which allegedly cost Sh 8 Million, and hair dressing classes, which allegedly cost 9 Million shillings.
He noted that the students who were allegedly trained at Buruburu Professional Training College were not provided with invoices or receipts to prove such payments, and that the number of youth trained at a driving school that allegedly cost 9 Million shillings does not reflect the actual number on the ground.
Embakasi West Constituency received 98 Million Shillings CDF money in the year 2015/2016 from the national government.
