• The accusations are based on a fraud audit report commissioned by Senator Omtatah in July 2025.
• The report highlights deliberate manipulation of financial systems, including duplicate Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) account codes and inflated budgets by Ksh1.4 billion.
• Omtatah urged the EACC to summon implicated officials, seize relevant financial records, and conduct lifestyle audits to recover allegedly stolen property.
