Former Chief Justice David Maraga has torn into the government after it openly admitted that Kenya had indeed transferred money from the Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) programme into a Swiss account overseas.
In a strongly worded statement released on Tuesday morning, the former head of the Judiciary maintained that the government's actions were a gross violation of the Constitution and only added to the many historical scandals the country has yet to address.
Maraga maintained that the law stipulated that all money collected by the government as a result of service payments should be deposited into the Consolidated Fund account.
The former head of the Judiciary questioned why Parliament-a body entrusted with overseeing the use of public funds-was not involved in the government's pilot project.
