Graft at Saboti MP’s office fulltime work – Weekly Citizen

Staff at the constituency office of Saboti MP Caleb Amisi are allegedly demanding kickbacks from the tenders he awards contractors and bursary allocations.
Parents who spoke to journalists in Kitale town complained that they are buying cheques according to the number of students one applies. A parent said he was expecting Sh90,000 for his three children but he was given only Sh30,000 for two students while he had given Sh15,000 kickback to one of the staff in the recent bursary disbursement at Kipsongo slums.
During the disbursement of the bursary allocations that was witnessed by the MP himself, some secondary schools did not receive cheques despite their representative being present. The MP insisted that institutions that he would take the cheques to institutions with big allotments which did not happen. It is said they were diverted to different accounts to benefit somebody.
Weekly Citizen unearthed the sad story where Matisi Secondary School was awarded Sh360,000 before the representative of the school who was present but the MP refused to give out the cheque saying he would take it himself because the amount was huge.
Later, the cheque was changed to Sh2,000 per student something that the source from his office said made the school give up with the cheque.

It said university students who were getting Sh50,000 each and their names were repeatedly called in various stations where the MP stepped but were not available were deliberately fake names to create a leeway to siphon funds.
Our source revealed how the MP’s office awarded a tender worth Sh500,000 to renovate the chief’s office at Kipsongo but one of them demanded 30pc kickback of the same money to Rafiki Secondary School where a kickback of 40pc was allegedly handed to the MP’s cousin a one Jacky.
In Maeni Primary where demonstration took place, the office gave a tender worth Sh1million and demanded 40pc kickback causing the contractor to construct shoddily done classroom that the MP officially opened which provoked resident to demonstrate. The source also revealed that the MP was shocked to know that majority of the bursary beneficiaries were from one community.
Further, locals are asking where the CDF office took the millions of shillings that was fundraised at Excel Institute Kitale a year ago through Caleb Amisi Foundation.
During the fundsdrive, Amisi gave Sh3 million from the National Government-Constituency Development Fund which was against the 2010 constitution for supporting individual organisation.
The office which has turned to be hyena among the goats has been linked to another scandal at Soil Conservation Secondary School which was allocated for the first time Sh1.5 million funds not reflected in the school’s book of accounts while the paperwork shows the funds were disbursed. The school has been allocated Sh1.5 million again but the work has not begun raising questions as to where the initial funds are.
The MP’s officecosts Sh60,000 paid by government yet the government releases Sh80,000 per month but who takes Sh20,000 every month? Already, Sabaot community is preparing Senator Michael Mbito to vie in the next 2022 general election.
In the last general election, Amisi applied a good strategy at Marambachi that saw Jonas Kuko being denied votes from his community.
