FORMER CABINET SECRETARY BACK TO OFFICE.

               

                                Former cabinet secretary Kambi  kazungu        

The president of Kenya , president Uhuru Kenyatta has nominated the former cabinet secretary for labour , Kambi Kazungu to be the chairperson of the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NGCDF).
The former cabinet secretary who will assume the new role upon approval by the National Assembly was forced to step down from his office based on the allegations on graft. He would later left out of the government by the president during the reshafling of the cabinet secretaries by the president.
His role was therefore taken by Phyllis Kandie the then cabinet secretary of East African Affairs. Kambi's suspension in November was informed by the move by the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission (EACC) who forwarded his name to the DPP to be charged with graft having concluded their investigations.
Kambi who then stepped out of office was linked to corrupt deals at the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) Tassia II project where he is said to have strongly supported the project despite the clear indication that the board of trustees hadn't approved the upward review of the project cost from ksh.3 billion to ksh. 5 billion.
Prior to this, Kambi had been quoted saying he doesn't condone corruption and should he ever be found a criminal of graft then the president should take a gun and shoot him at a close range.
"I stand by my words that if I am found to be corrupt, I should not only be sacked but also be killed," said kazungu. "The fact that I have been mentioned doesn't mean I am corrupt, I support the president 200 percent," he added.
He was among the five suspended cabinet secretaries who stepped down from office upon the release of the graft report.
