Majiwa charged with Sh283m cemetery fraud

Nairobi Mayor Geophrey Majiwa and Deputy Town Clerk Geoffrey Charo Kahindi were on Tuesday charged with conspiracy to commit an offence of corruption by acquiring Sh283.2 million from the Ministry of Local Government for the purchase of a graveyard.  

The mayor faced two other counts of neglect to perform official duty by failing to ascertain whether the city council had received or accepted any offer from Henry Musyoki Kilonzi, the alleged owner of the land in Mavoko, before appending his signature and affixing the official council seal.
