FRC Investigating Besieged KNH CEO Kamuri’s Accounts And His Secret Lovers
It has now come to surface that Financial Reporting Center (FRC) the body responsible for anti-money laundering fight in Kenya have joined forces with Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) in investigating Kenyatta National Hospital CEO Dr. Evanson Kamuri.
The embattled Kamuri, arrested on May 22, 2024, for alleged corruption, recently faced another setback. A Nairobi court ordered the freezing of Ksh 28 million, which is suspected to have been corruptly acquired from the hospital.
Principal magistrate Celessa Okore allowed the application as sought by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC).
The anti-graft body submitted that it was investigating Dr Kamuri over allegations of abuse of office, unexplained wealth, conflict of interest, procurement irregularities, and irregular award of tenders to companies linked to him.
“The preliminary investigations have established that the said public officer has accumulated assets which are not commensurate to his known source of income to a tune of Kshs800 million,” the EACC said in the application.
The two bank accounts are at Housing Finance Company (HF) and the court allowed the EACC to access the bank accounts and obtain information relating to withdrawals and deposits among other documents.
Mr Paul Mugwe, an investigator asked the court to grant him the order so that he can look at the account opening documents, statements, cheques, deposit slips, and payment vouchers among others
The investigator said preliminary investigations revealed that Dr Kamuri as the CEO of KNH, engaged in abuse of office, conflict of interest, and procurement irregularities in two tenders.
The investigator said for purposes of the investigations, it was necessary to freeze the bank accounts.
Mr Mugwe said any funds available in the bank accounts will form part of the exhibits to be produced in court should suspects be charged with a criminal offence.
Secret lovers investigated
It’s now emerging that EACC has cast its net wide on Kamuri’s accomplices including Rose Njoroge, director chain management and who’s believed to be his key partner in the looting of the national hospital and who is also Kamuri’s office wife.
The beseiged CEO, has been accused of using his position to get sexual favors from junior female staff at the government’s health facility.
Sources claim Kamuri demands these favors before recommending promotions. Some of his victims are enjoying favors, including international and local seminars at the expense of qualified officers.
Kamuri who had previously boasted of powerful protection and could easily throw in the name of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has now been left harmless and is on his way out after his 40 days came to an end.
As his clandestine operations come to surface, his wife is also in trouble as most of their properties being investigated could eventually be attached to recover the looted cash.
