Kenya Revenue Authority boss John Njiraini and Energy principal secretary Joseph Njoroge are among a dozen public officials who risk losing their plum jobs for allegedly using taxpayer funds to engage in the ongoing political campaigns.
The Ombudsman has written to the Director of Public Prosecutions Keriako Tobiko asking him to take to court 12 officials, including five governors, for using public resources in campaigns and advertising their projects to woo voters, contrary to the Election Offences Act, 2016. Offenders face a six-year jail term.
