Allegation
Three officials of West Kano Irrigation Scheme allegedly embezzled public funds released to the scheme by Government through the Ministry of Agriculture/Irrigation under the Economic Stimulus Program (ESP).
Alleged fund releases
In 2009 the Government released KSh. 64 million to revive the project and in 2013 it released KSh. 18 million and the officials cannot account for about KSh. 100 million.
Programme purpose
Increasing the availability of maize and rice in the National Irrigation Schemes.

Programme cost
KSh. 22 billion
Programme sectors
seven sectors including Agriculture, Water, Irrigation, Regional Development, and Youth Affairs

Funds utilized
KSh. 54,331,938 was utilized by the NIB Nairobi and Ahero offices.
Revolving fund decision
Although the funds were initially offered as a grant, the Project Steering Committee resolved to establish a farmers’ revolving fund to promote sustainability of production and operational activities within the scheme.
Revolving fund purpose
The fund was intended to serve as a recovery mechanism to ensure continuity beyond the stimulus period.
Unrecovered funds
As of 15 March 2014, farmers owed the Fund a total of KSh. 57,214,756.
Lost records
The custodian of key project documents, who served as secretary, passed away, leading to the loss of crucial records.

Institutional transition
The National Irrigation Board transitioned to the National Irrigation Authority following the enactment of the Irrigation Act, 2019.

Tender number
SCG/T/57/202/2023
Allegation
Officials of the County Government allegedly received a bribe of KSh. 20,000,000/= to irregularly award the tender to Trident Insurance Company, despite the company’s failure to meet the mandatory technical requirements stipulated in the tender documents.
Procurement period
FY 2022/23
Bids submitted
Six
Amount
KSh. 149,630,188/=
Procurement findings
The procurement was planned and budgeted for; six bids were submitted and processed; due diligence was conducted; a contract was entered into between Trident and the Samburu County Government.
Bid ranking
Britam General Insurance was ranked first; Jubilee Health Insurance Company was ranked second; and Trident Insurance was ranked third.
Evaluation recommendation
The evaluation committee recommended the award to Trident Insurance Company without explaining why it did not recommend Britam, which was ranked first.
Professional opinion
The Ag. Head of Supply Chain Management advised that the tender be awarded to Trident Insurance Company because Jubilee’s bid document had date errors and the Samburu County Government was not satisfied with former service provider Britam’s service delivery.
Finding
The form of tender for Trident Insurance Company also had date errors but it was awarded the tender unlike Jubilee, which was eliminated on similar ground. Trident Insurance Company was paid for this service. The insurance company was therefore irregularly awarded the said tender.
