Nairobi County Government Under DCI Fraud Probe
According to a statement made by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, investigations are currently being carried out into a possible instance of money laundering within the Nairobi County Government.
According to a document obtained by the Star, the DCI has stated that the administration of Nairobi County is suspected of engaging in fraudulent activity by making payments to nine businesses for which no services were performed.
To assist them in their investigation into the claims, the DCI asked for several papers to review.
“Kindly furnish us with the budget approvals for the items that were supplied by the companies and the requisitions by the user departments relating to all of the companies,” DCI said. “Thank you very much for your assistance in this matter.”
In addition, it was requested that the government of the county of Nairobi send tender documents. These documents include but are not limited to, invitations to tenders, preparations and submissions, opening and assessments, and minutes from the tender committee.

Also make available all records of LPOs that have been issued to the companies, as well as any payment vouchers, complete with any attachments that pertain to the entities, the DCI instructed.
Deliveries that were made and inspected, as well as any documentation that accounted for the receipt of any items, such as inspection and acceptance committee forms and store inventories, were required to be filed.
DCI requested, in addition to the release of the papers, that the county government appoint officers who have an understanding of the various processes indicated above to provide them with information on their tasks and also record statements to that effect. This was in addition to the provision of the materials.
