The unchecked misuse of public funds by Northeastern leaders to finance upscale malls and high-rise apartments in Nairobi must be addressed.
This TikTok user broke down the shocking mismanagement of funds in the Isiolo County Stadium project.
In the 2019/2020 financial year an allocation of KSh 150 million was intended for the stadium's development but shockingly, Ksh 60 million of this amount was reportedly misused, with an additional Ksh 30 million unaccounted for.
This mismanagement led to delays in construction and left the project incomplete.
Moving on to the following year, Ksh 200 million was allocated but Ksh 80 million was misused through irregular procurement processes.
Contracts were awarded without proper tendering, and despite the substantial allocation, the stadium remained unfinished.
By the 2021/2022 financial year, the allocated amount rose to Ksh 250 million but Ksh 100 million was diverted into personal accounts, with an additional Ksh 70 million lost to over-invoicing.
The completed work was found to be substandard, failing to meet required specifications despite the increased funding.
