Kenya plans to spend the more than Sh577 million recovered from former Kenya Power managing director Samuel Gichuru’s secret Jersey Island account and UK printing firm Smith & Ouzman on social sector projects jointly agreed with foreign authorities, Parliament was told on Wednesday.

Halakhe Waqo, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption (EACC) chief executive officer, said the Sh52 million recovered from Smith & Ouzman following the printing firm’s conviction for bribing Kenyan electoral and examination officials will be used to buy ambulances.
