Former President Uhuru Misappropriated Ksh. 586.1B, Wizileaks Reports

The corruption platform, which is well known for providing a consolidated source of data and information on corruption scandals and intends to enable transparency around instances of corruption during the current and previous regimes of Kenya's government, has highlighted what occurred during former President Uhuru's regime.

According to the report, the number of scandals in the country has increased since the late President Moi's regime to President Uhuru's. Uhuru's government had the highest number of scandals.

During Uhuru's regime, there were 120 scandal cases reported. This is an increase from the late President Mwai Kibaki when there were 41 scandal cases reported.

The amounts of funds misappropriated since 1978 in Kenya have totaled  Kshs. 734.5 billion. Former President Uhuru Kenyatta led the list with having misused Kshs. 586.1 billion during his tenure. The worst year was 2014, which saw 367 Billion misappropriated.

From the report, men were also the highest number of individuals involved in many scandals witnessed in the country. This was also noted since many men occupy powerful seats in the government and also they have been in power for longer periods than women and this has advantaged them in establishing significant corruption networks.

Here's a list of ministries and government agencies and departments involved in the scandals;

1. Ministry of Lands - 10 scandals

2. Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing, Urban Development and Public works - 10 scandals

3. Devolution department - 8 scandals
