INFO C/O Mugo wa Wairimu
A few days after a very popularised event to launch Tractors allegedly purchased by Siaya county governmentto assist farmers in the county, evidence has come to light that the Governor could have hoodwinked Kenyans while in fact he had hired the tractors from CMC for a one day show.
The event which was attended by CORD leaders led by the Former Prime minister of the republic saw the Siaya County Government spend an obscene amount in popularizing the event on local radio Stations and TV.
Interestingly though when asked about the saga the Governor did not refute the claims and instead this was his texted reply to our query:-
"What really is wrong with hiring the tractors? I'm aware that hiring is an acceptable procurement modality pursuant to the public procurement act 2005"
Evidence shows that the tractors were indeed hired from CMC and there are photos showing the Tractors being offloaded at Siaya-Bondo Junction.
It is unclear whether Mr. Raila Odinga knew of the scam when he "flagged off " the Tractors
