*THE SIAYA 400M TRANSITION MONEY HEIST*

*By* Agogo Moses

As you and me were busy waiting for the new government to take over from the failed Rasanga regime a group of cartels had drawn a super plan to rob Siaya people on their development death bed of a cool *ksh.400m.*

A plan that was hatched on *June 1st ended exactly September 30th* with men and women becoming an over night millionaires. From the dubious transactions which seemed to be hurriedly done, four county assembly clerks; *Silvester Douglas Ogola, Kevin Ochieng Masawa, Anthony Odiuor Omollo and Erick Omollo Muga* on *July 4th* received up to *5* payments between *ksh650,000 to ksh.716,000*. It's suspicious why the cash was under imprest account and how comes The Siaya treasury paid county assembly staff, something unusual.

The cartel network in *Finance Department* unleashed their full greed for public cash. Between *1st August and 6th September* the following transactions took place. On *August 31st, Department Admin Madam Monica Aluoch* received 5 payments; *ksh.225,000* alleged travel cost, *ksh 93,000* tuition fees allowance, *ksh200, 000* accommodation allowance, another *ksh250, 000* tuition fees allowance.

On *September 6th* the Monica Aluoch Onyango received *ksh20,000* for advertising, awareness and publicity campaigns of unknown event. *Odhiambo Oyier* only identified as Support worker chewed a cool *Ksh748,000* for alleged contracted technical services. A staff *Fredrick Okello Odiuor* received the following transactions; *Ksh200,000* travel cost, *ksh425, 000* daily subsistence allowance and *ksh125,000* bank service commission charge. This was after His Excellency Governor Orengo gave a Moratorium advising against any payments.

These are just a drop of ice bag In the 400m money heist, to mean that the *Finance Department* from the top officials CECM and CEO together with their network pocketed millions as Siaya people are being told the national government is the reason development
