Embu Governor Cecily Mbarire is under scrutiny by the Senate for allegedly diverting Ksh 10 million from a development project to fund a boda boda outreach event. The funds, originally earmarked for the County Aggregated Industrial Park, were used for a political gathering attended by Deputy President Kithure Kindiki.

• Ksh 10 million was diverted from the County Aggregated Industrial Park to fund a boda boda event.
• The Senate County Public Accounts Committee, chaired by Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang, questioned the legality of the diversion.
• Governor Mbarire admitted to the diversion, citing a promise to fund boda boda saccos and pledging that such an occurrence would not happen again.
• Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna called for severe punishment and surcharging of officers involved in the illegal diversion of funds.
