“The Director General is responsible for providing strategic and visionary leadership and has full operations responsibility in the development, implementation and evaluation of strategic business plans of the Authority,” read the public notice in part.
After it was revealed that Mr. Chiloba had mishandled money in the Authority’s Sh 662.4 million mortgage scheme and abused his position, he was compelled to quit. On October 18, 2023, he resigned after first being suspended while investigations were conducted.

Additionally, he was charged with understating the loan sums of former workers.
Mr. Chiloba initially defended himself, stating that there had been no unusualities in the way he submitted or handled his mortgage application. The funds were intended to be used for
His father was selling land and a house, and he needed the money. and his father desired that the funds be sent to Kitale Hillmost Limited, the business that Chiloba and his extended family hold.
After refuting every complaint made against him, he demanded that the Authority reinstate him, claiming that disciplinary action had been taken against him without providing a fair trial. A few days later, he quit.

Wafula Chebukati, the former chair of the IEBC, suspended him to allow for investigations, but he was able to challenge the suspension in court and prevail. Then in October, 2018 he was let go.

On March 14, 2024, the murder trial hearing for former Eastleigh police officer Ahmed Rashid will begin.

After denying the two murder charges in front of Justice Diana Kavedza, he was freed on a Sh200,000 bond.
Prosecution attorney Alla Mulama informed Justice Kavedza at pre-trial on Thursday at the High Court in Kibera that the state will call 25 witnesses to testify during the trial, 12 of whom were prepared to do so.

CS Machogu says no exam printing contract was cancelled in reply to Raila

Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu has denied assertions made by Raila Odinga, head of Azimio La Umoja One Kenya, that anomalies in the recently revealed results are due to the termination of the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) tests printing tender to a UK firm.
During his appearance before the Parliamentary Education Committee, Machogu stated that tenders for publishing national tests are sent out every year.
He insisted that Kenya, like any other nation, is capable of producing exam papers domestically.
The Education CS said that his ministry did not violate any laws and that the examinations printing tender was awarded using due process.
However, Machogu recognized that applicants’ difficulties receiving their results were caused by the company’s noncompliance with KNEC guidelines regarding the management of the QR code used for transmitting and accessing the KCPE results.
“As a CS I have learnt lessons because basically you can see as a ministry everything was right. Somebody we can call an outsider was given the contract but did not really conform and do to the required standard. Moving forward when we release the KCSE examinations we will not be able to make use of the same service provider,” he added.
Odinga had on Wednesday alleged that the government illegally revoked the printing tender from a UK based firm to a printer based in Mombasa road and later to India.
”We have established that early this year, the Kenya Kwanza administration suddenly and abruptly stopped this contact because the UK firm refused to give kickbacks. Without following any legal procurement processes, due diligence procedures and attention to examination timelines, the Kenya Kwanza administration awarded the KCPE and KCSE exam printing contract to a politically correct printing company based in Mombasa road,” Odinga said.

Ex-KCB top manager Leonard Mwithiga arrested in US trying to kill wife

A Kenyan man is being charged in the US with murder-for-hire after authorities thwarted his plan to have a woman, with whom he has a long-running legal dispute, assassinated.
The 52-year-old former top banking executive Leonard Thuo Mwithiga was charged in Putnam, Connecticut, after he instructed a friend to find a hitman for him so that he could “finish that woman” or “inject something into her food or water to kill her slowly like cancer.”
In order to avoid being connected to the woman’s death, Mwithiga allegedly intended to have her killed between January 28 and February 3 of the following year while he would be in Kenya. He assured the hitman he would give him $4000 (Sh609,000).
Mwithiga, the prosecutor claims, found a would-be killer, whom he gave $300 (Sh46,000) “in good faith”, not knowing he was dealing with an undercover police officer. He had also given the associate $100 (Sh15,238).
Both the associate, an Uber driver, who turned informant for the police, and the woman who was supposed to be the victim have not been identified.
According to local media sites, the informant informed a state police officer, who then went up to Mwithiga and pretended to be the hitman-for-hire he required.
According to investigation files submitted to the court, the undercover police officer “spoke with Mwithiga for more than an hour on Monday night, finalising the details of” the scheme while wearing audio and video monitoring, according to CT Insider, a Connecticut-based news site.
The Kenyan man was apprehended right away by the officer after they met at a motel in Putnam, the capital of Connecticut.
