Teachers drawn from Kisumu and adjacent areas are calling upon Nyanza Provincial Police Officer John Njue Njagi and his CID boss Joseph Mugwanja to urgently intervene and have officials of Mwalimu Teachers Sacco led by a teacher based at Kisumu Girls High School Dan Omotto, Sande Ochieng’ who teaches at Bar Sec School and Mr.Ochillo who is teaching at Kisumu Boys High School to be arrested and arraigned in court after they fraudulently obtained money from them under the guise of availing plots for them which has not been the case.
The agitated teachers who were addressing the press in Kisumu says that despite having made formal complaints to the Kisumu District Criminal Investigations Office nothing has been done despite recording statements and availing to the officers concerned all that is required in the complaints.
“We paid some money so that we buy the plots from the said Mwalimu Saccio housing project only for Sande,Ochhillo, Omotto and others to say that those were they commissions and we need to pay m0oney again so that we are given the plots, if this is not fraud then for heaven’s sake what is it” the teachers lamented.
They also claim that the said officials are using their TSC numbers without their knowledge and approval to bring people who are not employees of TSC to disguise as teachers so that they rip them off.
“We have recorded statements with the police and the authorities concerned should they not take actions against these officials then we will not be left with any option except to seek the help of the Police Commissioner” they added.
Contacted for comment Mr. Ochillo rubbished the allegations and said anybody who has complaints should bring them to the office where they began “as going to the office will not help them much”.
An investigative police officer based at the Kisumu CID office who never wanted his name mentioned said that they have forwarded their recommendations to their bosses and is wondering why the said officials have not been charged in a court of law since there are enough and sufficient evidence to charge them.
“We investigate and give recommendations which we have so far done, more information and details about the issue please consult our bosses” he added before hanging up
