Nairobi City County Assembly budget committee has today kicked out Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company officials who appeared before it over 2.3 billion shillings Lap Trust loan.
The company is seeking the nod of the assembly to secure a loan from Lap Trust to be used in compensation of pensioners.
Unfortunately the company sent junior staffs to the committee to shed light on the matter a move that prompted the committee to sent them away.
“We will be writing a letter again so that you appear in person next Tuesday.We need all the Nairobi Water board members and the managing director Eng Muguna to attend in person.This is the last chance we are giving them.” Odalo said.
‘‘How can you send Junior officers to represent you in such a serious meeting? We are watching your steps keenly and we will invoke our powers at the correct time.” Odalo warned.
Meanwhile Nairobi County Assembly Majority Leader Peter Imwatok called on NCWSC management to take the assembly business seriously failure to which they will not hesitate to take a firm stand over the matter as guided by the County Assembly Standing Orders.
“We are not seeing the board plus the managing director and Finance director which ratifies this kind of transaction…For the County Executive they are okay but let’s give them last chance if they fail to appear again then we shall take a decision as a house and close this matter.” Imwatok said.
The company want 2.3 billion shillings loan to pay out the pensioners debt.
