You are incompetent or you are part- Aaron Cheruiyot demands CoB to resign after Budget inflation revelations.
Speaking today at the National Dialogue Committee (NDC), Kericho County senator, Aaron Cheruiyot, called for the Controller of Budget to resign.
The senator outlined that there’s no way, someone who is supposed to be a controller budget, signs off what is not supposed to be signed off, this means that he or she is incompetent or part of the scheme.
The senator stated,”We should have asked her to resign because if you are allowing withdrawals through what is being revealed to the Committee, as budgeted corruption then it means either, you are incompetent or you are part and parcel of those that are stealing from us,”
This comes a week, after the Controller of budget, Mary Nyakongo appeared before the same committee, and revealed that there is some corruption in government in that her own salary had been budgeted three times what she actually receives.
This means budget for her office was quoted at Ksh18.6 million when the actual annual salary is that of Ksh.9.51 million.
“When I was doing the budget for consolidated funds services, this is where my salary is paid from, I found out that my salary was budgeted at three times what I’m paid,” Mary Nyakong’o revealed.
“I am the only state office in my institution. So, there’s nothing like confusion there; I am all alone. So, I asked them why is the budget showing three times. I have not received the answer,” she added.
The CoB also pointed out that the Office of the President and that of the Deputy President’s expenditure, was laid out at Ksh42.4 million which different from the gazzeted amount of Ksh32.05 million, this is a difference of Ksh10 million more.
