How PS Museiya Robbed Human Wildlife Conflict Victims Sh30 Million In Sham Travel Claims

Damning details have emerged of how Wildlife Principal Secretary Sylvia Museiya Kihoro brazenly pocketed close to Sh30 million from the State Department for Wildlife through fictitious travel reimbursements in less than a year after assuming office.

Documents in our possession have revealed a trail of merciless looting from victims of Human Wildlife Conflict as well as taxpayers through imprests for falsified foreign trips.

Having perused a treasure trove of documents, we have established that PS Museiya implemented a well laid out scheme to rob Kenyans of their taxes without batting an eyelid.

On July 1, 2023, the PS released Sh908 million out of the Sh1 billion allocated for Human Wildlife Conflict Funds to compensate victims of human wildlife conflict across the country.

It is now emerging that the fund’s remaining Sh92 million was claimed by the PS for her numerous undated foreign trips and unexplained expenses backed by falsified documents.

Documents in our possession reveals the following glaring and daring details of the astronomical amounts PS Sylvia Museiya claimed using Human Wildlife Conflict funds;

All the claims by the Wildlife PS in the five instances above total a whopping Sh5,962,960.40 withdrawn from the Human Wildlife Conflict Funds, yet she was officially invited to only one of the five foreign events.

MORE CORRUPT DEEDS

The greed perpetrated by the PS in the Wildlife Department since she assumed office in November 2022 has continued unabated, according to documents in our possession;

PS Museiya, who enjoys impunity due to her perceived closeness to the powers that be in the Kenya Kwanza administration, has been getting away with wanton corruption and looting of the public coffers in the Wildlife Department and her juniors in the department and ministry have been heard asking who will come to rescue them from their greedy boss.

The biggest question is: What will happen to the poor victims of human wildlife conflict who were meant to be compensated by the government using the Sh1 billion set aside in 2023, part of which the PS has been squandering with reckless abandon.

The other pertinent question is: Will President William Ruto take urgent action to stop this massive theft of taxpayers monies as the rest of Kenyans are forced to tighten their belts due to the harsh economic times?
