The Agrochemical factory in Muhoroni is allegedly loosing millions of shillings in a well orchestrated syndicate involving the top management, the factory’ audit report reveals.
According to the recent audit report carried by the company’ auditor Mr. Tum, unearthed that the head of Effluent Treatment Plant(ETP)Mr. Mutuku has been receiving millions of shillings from an organization known as Osienala.
Interestingly the money, report indicates, that is being wired to Mutuku personal account.
Tum, who uncovered the graft, has since been fired by the factory’ high-level officials who are said to be the chief architects and beneficiaries of the cartel’ malpractices bedeviling the once vibrant outfit.
Workers union on the other hand also took issue with the ETP head saying that the ETP department is consisting of ghost workers whose services are being engaged to dis-large the ponds which in return the company honours and pays.
And yet they had at one time raised the matter with the management which they say appears to be reluctant to embark on necessary remedial measures to curb.
“For how long will all these corruptions of the highest order continue to take its toll with the management presiding over?†quipped the disgruntled workers and union officials who sought for anonymity.
Further, the enraged workers wondered why top cream officials are blatantly doing all these to a government investment of such a magnitude. They urged the Prime minister, Raila Odinga to crack the whip.
The relentless efforts to the management to comment on the matter proved futile by the time of going to the press.
The company’ sleaze exposure is coming barely a month after the PM sent packing the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) managing director, Abdalla Mahru on grounds of incompetence, inefficiency and corruption.
The move has sparked scathing criticism against the PM from a cross section of coast Mps.They say that Raila overstepped his mandate and that the slot is regionally there’s, to head. The Langata legislator brushed off the utterances has tribal and people who are still leaving in the past.

I don’t like the way you are commenting on this issue. it is very easy for, even, a casual reader to see that you do not have any concrete facts at hand. Be warned: a little knowledge is dangerous, it is better to have much knowledge or non at all. First how much has Osienala given to this Mr. Mutuku, to what bank was the money wired, did Osienala give the money as a corporate body or was it a persanal arrangement between an employee of Osienala and Mr. Mutuku.
It is not illegal to receive money from friends so long as that money is not meant as an inducement to make decisions in a way injurous to public good and fareness. If you should have given us the Osienala interest that Mr. Mutuku supposedly served that he would otherwise not have were there no monetary inducement, to be a little believable.
Otherwise this to me is mere soiling of an innocent man’s name, and I therefore urge you to desist
