Lang’ata Sub County Revenue Officer Faces Allegations of Corruption and Non-Remittance of Funds
Nairobi, Kenya – In a shocking revelation, Ann Wambui, a revenue officer from Nairobi City, has been reported to the police for allegedly fleecing the county government of millions of shillings in South C. A report was filed at Akila Police Station, highlighting Wambui’s corrupt malpractices within the area.
According to an investigation conducted by Kenyaonlinenews.com, it was discovered that Wambui had been collecting revenue from various sources but had failed to remit the funds to the Nairobi County Government. Disturbingly, a video obtained by Kenyaonlinenews.com shows Wambui confidently daring traders she harassed to report her to Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, displaying an utter disregard for any potential consequences.
Wambui’s primary modus operandi involves collecting cess fees from lorries transporting building materials. Instead of depositing the money into the Nairobi County government coffers, she colludes with drivers and truck owners, keeping a substantial portion of the required fee for herself. Only those drivers and truck owners who require receipts for accountability purposes have refused to participate in these illicit payments, insisting on paying the fees as required by law.
Aside from her involvement in embezzlement, Wambui has also gained notoriety for her arrogance and mistreatment of her subordinates and traders in the areas under her jurisdiction. Her behavior has caused immense dissatisfaction among Nairobi residents and raised concerns about her intentions to hinder Governor Johnson Sakaja in delivering on his manifesto and pre-election pledges to the people of Nairobi. The revenue officer’s actions threaten to starve the Nairobi County coffers of funds that should be allocated to crucial service delivery.
In light of these serious allegations, the Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has been urged to initiate a thorough investigation into the criminal activities of Ann Wambui. Concerned residents have voiced their worries about the impact on the provision of services to Nairobians, emphasizing the essential role revenue collection plays in supporting the county government’s efforts.
The case of Ann Wambui serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for transparency and accountability within Nairobi City’s revenue collection system. The entire community now awaits decisive action from Governor Sakaja to ensure justice is served and to restore faith in the county government’s ability to effectively serve its citizens.
