The Busia County Senator and 2027 presidential aspirant Okiya Omtatah has alleged that a discrepancy in the Budget Policy Statement might explain how the taxpayers financed the Orange Democratic Party (ODM) Party Leader Raila Odinga's African Union Commission (AUC) chairmanship.
Speaking during an interview at Spice FM on Monday morning, Omtatah highlighted a clear difference between the funds allocated for salaries, allowances, and miscellaneous and the amount spent.
According to the report, the allocation, which is supposed to be fixed, was Ksh4 billion, but a whopping Ksh22 billion was spent, leaving Ksh18 billion unaccounted for.
This Ksh18 billion, Omtatah noted, must have been used to finance Odinga's bid at the AUC bid since it happened at the time when he was running for the chairmanship positions.
