The Nairobi County Assembly wants the anti-corruption agency to investigate the sale of Mariakani Estate in South B for Sh1.4 billion by the defunct city council to two pension schemes.
Last year, Nairobi South Ward Rep Manoah Mboku sought a report on the matter from the Sectoral Committee on Planning and Housing. The report was, however, rejected by the assembly.
The report was recently brought to the House for the second time.
According to the chairman of the team, Mr Jairo Atenya, the defunct city council failed to pay Sh7.1 billion it owed the Local Authorities Provident Fund (Lapfund) and the Local Authorities Pension Trust (Laptrust), hence they could not be allocated Local Authority Transfer Fund (LATF) money.
“A total of about Sh5 billion was due to Laptrust, and the city treasurer reported that Sh2.1 billion was due to Lapfund. The amount owed needed to be paid for the council to obtain clearance to receive LATF money,” said Mr Atenya.
