The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has summoned former Kasarani MP Elizabeth Ongoro and her husband Ferdinand Masha over suspected embezzlement of Constituency Development Fund.
The duo is among the 19 individuals accused of misappropriation of Sh48.9 million meant for Kasarani Girls High School project.
According to EACC, the project which was conceptualised by a CDF committee and payment made to different entities, is non-existent.
“The school does not exist and that payments were made to different individuals and companies associated to (sic) the National Government Constituency Development Fund patron and committee members,” EACC says.
The suspects have also been accused of failing to follow procurement laws in relation to the construction of the non-existent school.
