EACC prende 11 funcionários por suposto escândalo de Ksh 85 milhões no NG-CDF de Eldama Ravine

A Comissão de Ética e Anticorrupção do Quênia deteve 11 funcionários em 7 de maio devido a alegações de que 85 milhões de Ksh foram desviados do NG-CDF de Eldama Ravine. Os fundos foram retirados de uma alocação maior de 369 milhões de Ksh destinada a projetos locais entre 2018 e 2021.

As prisões tiveram como alvo membros do comitê do NG-CDF, contadores, funcionários administrativos, um oficial de TIC e pessoal do tesouro. Os investigadores descobriram que apenas 11,5 milhões de Ksh haviam sido reservados para monitoramento e avaliação, mas 85 milhões de Ksh foram sacados em espécie sob esse pretexto.

A comissão declarou que o dinheiro desaparecido impediu que vários projetos de desenvolvimento planejados fossem adiante. Outros dois suspeitos continuam foragidos, e a EACC solicitou que se apresentem em qualquer um de seus escritórios.

Os que estão sob custódia foram levados para o escritório da agência em South Rift, em Nakuru. Eles enfrentam acusações que incluem abuso de cargo, conspiração para cometer crime econômico e contabilidade falsa.
