Slightly a day after The Daily Nation revealed massive wastage of public funds in Nyamira County Assembly, Magombo MCA has denied knowledge on money used for tea.
The Auditor General’s office released shocking details in which he claimed that the assembly used Sh63 million for tea in financial year 2015/16.
But in a quick response, Ezra Mochiemo who also chairs Public Accounts Committee has denied having knowledge on taking tea paid by tax payers.
“On behalf of Ezra Mochiemo and Magombo people, I cannot remember any single day that I have taken tea in Nyamira assembly,” he said in Nyamira County Whatsap group.
“In the last four years, I have never seen anything like tea anywhere close to county assembly premises,” added Mochiemo.
According to the report, Sh67.8 million loosely translating to Sh166, 000 was used as pay off each of the 33 Ward Representatives in sitting allowances.
