www.nation.co.ke/News/-/1056/820998/-/vo1r70/-/index.htmlAND capitalfm.co.ke/news/Kenyanews/UK-freezes-Sh100m-funding-to-Kenya-6794.htmlAs the wise say, where there is a lull in an otherwise quarrelsome government, big time looting must be proceeding unabated. So these Mafias have decided that poor kids shall not learn anymore. The looting Kiama shielding Treasury and Education Ministries have decided that FPE, KESSP and other education programs principally supported by traditional DONORS like UNICEF, World Bank, DfID, ADB, OPEC, and Swedish CIDA are - instead of providing children with books and supplies - going to be their cash cows for milking. Now programs are being shut down and millions of kids’ future prospects are being consigned into hopelessness. Merciless sharks can’t even spare children learning funds, yet the government can’t afford its own free school program. How LOOTING cartels in the Ministry of Education and Treasury continue stealing hundreds of millions of donor funds under this so called power-sharing arrangement, even after the same DfID and World Bank have already (previously) suspended other education program funding (for the same reason of corruption) is simply heart-wrenching.The Education PS Karega Mutahi and his other Kiama member at Treasury are probably going to claim yet again that ‘books only last for three years’ yet some of us still possess in archives, multi-decade-old, yellow and brown, sulphur-oxidized textbooks of the yore. Mutahi had the audacity to claim (the last time donors confronted him) that a lot of books were lost during the PEV and such elementary grade tales which don’t size up. He had nothing to say of course about missing funds for classrooms to be constructed in very poor areas like Turkana, Samburu, Wajir. MPs from these areas are curiously mum over this issue . The other kiama member Uhuru Kenyatta pretended that time to be suspending 50 government employees in his Treasury building thinking the donors would forget. Who is actually the real thief to be fired here? The big fish or the small fish? I mean this impunity and looting has to stop at some time!

mmmm.....why not have the entire government, and I mean the entire government then just go?
Since the government will not go, how about the saints in part company to show their disdain for these looting Kikuyus?
Sometimes when I look at all this theft and the selective way we blame some peopleand let others go depending on which side of the political divide, it starts to appear as if one should perhaps look at whichkind of theft is better!!
Is stealing tax money from hard working Kenyans better than stealing millions from donors? I am coming from where is there a bigger or a smaller sin or are all sins? Should we ever talk about 40 million shillings of Kenyan tax payer money stolen and paid off to a fake national football coach in the same light as some hundreds of millions of donor money stolen? The argument can be made that we lost 40 million in some German coach and this did not hurt as much as the kids who now have to go without books.
The only reason this contiinues to happen is because we never question the small theft so it begs the question why should even care about milti millions being stolen?

So far, donors have withheld Sh13 billion for FPE in the wake of the alleged theft. DfID alone has withheld Sh 1.2 billion AWAITING ACTION. Donors have clearly made it known they will not release funds in future if ACTION is not taken – oh poor kids. The kind of ACTION meant is not the suspension of small scapegoats and sacrificial lambs such as the ones already made at Elimu House. It is obvious Elimu House and Treasury’s fat sheep and their shepherd are being spared. Kibaki will never send heads rolling. All indications from KACC suggest that all they are doing is investigating red herrings and not the main fraud. I guess the other side of the coalition can only watch. KACC is pretending to be investigating who altered conference receipts and who inflated imprest cash and such things. KACC is deliberately turning a blind eye to the real big fraud dismissed as 'typing errors' and the ‘development’ accounts that were fraudulently opened in select schools (many in Prof. Ongeri’s own constituency) through which cash was pilfered out of the system. Not a single classroom was built through a multitude of such accounts. If KACC were to genuinely get to the bottom of the rot, then Karega Mutahi and Sam Ongeri would have been first forced to step aside. That is precisely the kind of action donors are waiting for. But then again, this is Kenya and the Kibaki curse still burdens us until 2012. Poor children will have to suffer in the meantime as the ruling and looting Kiama licks their oily lips.

It is now obvious (even to donors) that the Ministry of Education cannot handle large amounts of money effectively and efficiently without looters siphoning funds.
After the commendable policy of FPE everyone knew that millions of kids flocking back to school would create a pandemonium due to capacity shortfalls.
Was there going to be quality teaching? Would learning materials especially textbooks be enough for all the children? Wouldn’t the huge class sizes require construction of more classrooms and hiring of more teachers?
This is where donors like DfID, CIDA, World Bank were coming in with grants for textbooks, classroom construction and in-service courses for teachers. To limit corruption, donors insisted on funding through a new system – devolved and decentralized.
They decided to send grants directly to special school bank accounts, managed by a school committee composed of the head teacher, teachers and parents.
Money is simply sent directly to this account and managed by the school committee. The committee uses the funds to procure books and materials from approved lists with accredited suppliers.
This intended aspect of devolution is however undermined by the fact that it is Elimu House (Ministry of Basic Education Hqs) which still “approves lists” and “‘accredits book suppliers”.
Do not be surprised that the top Ministry officials are the publishers of school books and owners of the so called ‘accredited’ supplier/distribution outlets.
It increasingly looks as if direct transfer of funds from central government to individual school bank accounts has not cut out the Ministry “middlemen” from eating. Elimu House sharks still seem to be controlling and fleecing remote village school accounts via simple collusion with head teachers. Besides, they still seem to be monopolizing the supply network of textbooks and supplies to all schools.
As we expect KACC’s audit this week, we need to FIRST know who the textbook publishers and owners of distribution and supply outlets are. This is the first audit report we must know in the interest of transparency and accountability.
Have we really devolved the industry of supplying textbooks? Or do we still rely on Ministry fat cats and their tentacles dispersed around the country to monopolize the school supply business? We must also know what Ministry officials are still doing in respective school accounts.
If KACC doesn’t answer these pertinent questions, preferring instead to address useless petty imprest claims and seminar cash issues, then it will all be distraction hoopla and no substance.
Next in my investigative querries should be a head-count of all school-children in Kenya and a physical count of actual number of schools in the republic.
We are told there are currently about 18,500 primary schools with millions of children enrolled. Each child is allocated about sh 1,000 for the FPE.
The question is – how sure are we that in the list of 18,500, there are no phantom schools that don’t even exist? How sure are we that the number of school kids has not been exaggerated/inflated to divert funds into certain pockets?
If a thorough audit was to be done, I will not be surprised to find billions disappearing through “purchase” of text books for "phantom schools" from “briefcase bookstores” which close immediately after receiving payment.
These are the real issues to investigate rather than focusing on false imprest claims. KACC should come out clear on this looting with verifiable conclusion.
KACC should scrutinize the management of grants by school-level committees. Who actually verifies that schools actually purchased books? We could be having situations where committees produce receipts but where no actual deliveries of books were made.
What about cash for infrastructure rehabilitation and water/sanitation facilities? Who does the physical audit to find out if construction was actually done?
How will KACC investigate 18,500 individual processes of tendering, procurement and accounting while auditing for possible collusion between the publishing industry and education officials?
I have a feeling certain shenanigans are having a field day with this FPE thing, minting billions under cover.

Or shall we pretend they are above the norm and beyond the vice of corruption that grips a number of government officials?

I dont want to die i hope thats clear enough this struggle was/is not about passing the keys to the coffers to a new set of thieves interestingly enough, there appears to be the general mindset of kenyans. we hear people talk of a good thief vs a bad thief, a humane gangster vs a cruel/heartless gangster. we even hear of thieves that play with their tiny balls (i mean golf ) while discussing grand hotel scams (sophisticated snobs) vs those that would rather be at hole in the wall choma/beer dens (totally down to earth) there is even talk of the devil you "own" (by tribal affiliation i suppose) ;D a thief is a thief is a thief.... lets continue to discuss ways to curb excesses of the regimes, end corruption and work towards meaningful reforms and functioning institutions.

but looks like the committee is frantically groping in the dark with the questions. almost like they have absolutely zero material to go on by and just doing a PR exercise for the masses
sounds more like a familiarization exercise rather than the "grilling" that the media refers to.
the PAC need to employ services of competent anti-fraud units
i cannot see how this committee can arrive at any meaningful conclusions. hope there was more to it than that clip

How will KACC investigate 18,500 individual processes of tendering, procurement and accounting while auditing for possible collusion between the publishing industry and education officials?
I have a feeling certain shenanigans are having a field day with this FPE thing, minting billions under cover. As predicted earlier, Uhuru Kenyatta has confirmed that more than sh 4 billion has been stolen by MoE officials. I actually think the amount has topped Sh 10 billion.One thing remains constant - the Minister Sam Ongeri, has refused to budge or step-aside. Here's what my source shares about the mega scam. 1) It is multi-faceted and involves (at the top) most senior officials (former Minister (Saitoti), current Minister Ongeri, former PS Karega Mutahi, current PS Ole Kiyapi, Education Secretary, three Directors, and a ruthless cartel in the Ministry's Accounting & Audit Sections. Hon. Boni Khalwale named this cartel today in Bunge - former Education PS Karega Mutahi, the chief financing officer Ms Alice Ndichu, the principal accountant, Ms Nancy Kinyua and the senior accountant Ms Rachael Ndung’u.
It is this deadly cartel that has been responsible for deflecting attention from the main scam while fingering the easy scape-goats (who ate petty conference cash) - the 25 or so petty-thieves so far in courts.
At the bottom is another cartel preying directly on schools. It involves book publishers milking from school accounts. Guess what - at this level too, there's a second resurfacing of the MoE sharks.
2) Proceeds of the loot ascend higher up beyond the Ministry - passing through Finance & even above & is now estimated to more than double the Sh 4.6 billion figure Uhuru disclosed. This is such a huge amount that not just MoE officials can eat alone - it has probably found its ways into the corridors of Justice.3) The scam is divided into several forms; a) The main form is the direct looting of the grant funds themselves. Billions have been pilfered through this scheme by a couple of ways;(i) Disbursing $ 1 less per child to the schools. The cumulative amount retained at MoE translates to billions of shillings. (ii) The innovatively-corrupt team of Karega Mutahi, Ms Alice Ndichu, Ms Nancy Kinyua and Ms Rachael Ndung’u (accounting officers) copied the donors’ methods -- direct electronic transfers to school bank accounts-- by setting up their own reverse electronic transfer system, where schools were able to send-back funds to MoE after it's initial transfer to the school. Only select schools, with cooperative/complicit head-teachers were used. (iii) The number of schools in reality is about 18,500 but donors are being told there's more than 21,000 schools. Thus this mafia has created thousands of phantom non-existent schools, and hundreds of thousands of non-existent pupils.
You will notice the pilfering operation has become so sweet that even when donors suspend funding - Uhuru simply allocates more taxpayer funds for FPE. This has basically become the rolling cash-cow for the mafia to be milked in perpetuity. Even PLO Lumumba has noticed that nothing has changed since Karega's transfer to another Ministry. The rest of the untouchable cartel is intact.
Have you all wondered why the scape-goats being prosecuted for embezzling conference money are collectively accused of eating a mere sh 90 million - yet no one talks about the actual BILLIONS mentioned by donors as missing? It is the missing billions that will sooner rather than later bring down Prof. Sam Ongeri and that deadly MoE cartel. b) Ongeri is simultaneously accused of running a book-publishing entity (under-cutting registered publishers) through his first cousin. Their entity reportedly supplies many schools in Kisii and other select areas (Ukambani and Meru) with primary school books. c) Ongeri and the cartel have also been busy dipping their hands into the kitty reserved for upgrading school infrastructures. This money is also supposed to be disbursed to schools directly. What happens is that the cartel controls how/when it disburses the funds to select schools, and by the time it is sent - they are on ground within 24 hours. It is therefore not a surprise that little infrastructure developments are going on despite the billions in allocations. Anyone who has seen what the CDF can do in mashinani understands that tens of billions over these years would have transformed our primary schools to levels appreciable to the eye. KACC's own audit report revealed that the constituency of the Education Minister Ongeri had directed half of constituency funds to only select fourteen schools where he had sway. The headmasters were his acolytes - collecting the funds on his behalf. How such corrupt folks blatantly hang onto office tells you there's obviously more than meets the eye. I think State House needs to be investigated for its own role in this FPE scam. Is someone trying to have his cake and eat it at the same time. Reap political fruits in legacy - while also reaping at the back through corruption? Why is Kibaki shielding Ongeri and Karega? Is it merely for political expediency or there's a direct financial motivation? State House obviously lacks the political will to fight this FPE corruption. The million doillar question will remain - just why?

This audit report was undertaken by the ministry of Finance. Assuming that the Ministry wanted to conceal the damage and yet the Ministry cannot still account for 4.6 billion, what does that tell you? I had not realized that we had an existing thread on this topic. It is good practice to maintain similar topics on the same thread for background and reference purposes. It cuts out duplication or repetition and allows for new and fresh inputs. 4.6 billion! That is not small money. I await for the President of the Republic of Kenya to announce that the “ Minister of Education has been left off his docket and all those involved shall face prosecution” This better be sooner rather than later. This tough talk on corruption has been going on for far too long now.
