How Kakamega County Lost Sh6.6Million On Ghost Health Programmes

Council Of Governors Chair Wyclife Oparanya led Kakamega County has lost Sh6.6Million from taxpayers funds in a ghost insider planned public health volunteers training programme.

The alleged masterminds are Public health chief administrator Everlyne Mulunji, community health services coordinator Chris Lumiti and his deputy Stephen Anjeche.

Kakamega county MCAs have written to the Governor to suspend the trio over the loss of Sh6.6 million, that according to the three, was aimed at improving county health programme.

The MCAs written to Ethics Anti-corruption Commission and Directorate of Criminal Investigations to investigate the said graft revelations.

In a document the MCA’s have since said to have forwaded to the DCI and EACC, Deputy health coordinator Stephen Anjeche signed an open Cheque of Sh5,694,000 meant to train community health volunteers.

According to the previous record backed on the cheque, the funds were to facilatate the training in 12 subcounties. But their are not after events records, pictures, videos nor actual venues of said training. In short the whole thing never happened.

In the document also, MCA’s state that Anjeche  booked a hotel with four ladies and three men and started transferring the millions of via Mpesa to proxies’ phones. The report, according ti a media source, contains images of Anjeche and the accomplices engaging in sex and merry making at the hotel.

The committee report also revealed that Anjeche agreed to have forged the crucial documents to surrender the imprests.

According to Anjeche, Kakamega Health services coordinator Chris Lumiti demanded Sh1.3 million to protect them.

Speaking before the MCA’s, Anjeche said Lumiti called him at Kakamega Golf Hotel where he insisted that 1.3Million be given governor Wycliffe Oparanya business associate Sir Rodger Martins.

Roger Martins is linked to Imarisha Afya ya Mama na Mtoto, that according to the report, is allegedly being used to siphon millions from the county.

The same Oparanya associate is said to have pressured Lumiti and Mulunji and opened an Mpesa account to pay CHVS and irregularly withdrew Sh915,000 from Imarisha Mama Account.

The county commitee was baffled by Ms Mulunji, who the report says is now a millionaire, who stated that she personally supervised programme but failed to name the venues.

On her defense,  Ms Mulunji states that the health committee members chaired by Lukas Radoli requested Sh2.5 million from them so as to ‘keep quiet’ but they refused. She rubbished the report terming it as a witchhunt.

“Radoli called me and I found him in a hotel located along Kakamega-Webuye highway. He was with two ladies and he gave me their mobile phone numbers to Mpesa them Sh120,000 each but I refused hence my troubles with him,” said one of the county health officials.
