Omar accuses Hassan Joho of funds misuse

Mombasa Senator Hassan Omar has called for an immediate investigation into alleged misappropriation of 496m shillings by Mombasa county government.

Speaking during an end of Ramadhan fast dinner in Fort Jesus, Omar said that he was appalled by the nature in which millions of public funds could not being accounted for and the existence of glaring discrepancies in the county’s financial accounts.

The Senator demanded for a report from the County Assembly of Mombasa to be tabled to the Public Accounts Committee of the Senate so that it can be probed and charges taken against the perpetrators.

The remarks by Omar on the governance on his political ally, Ali Hassan Joho, come even after the Auditor General Edward Ouko raised a red flag on the county’s finances.
