Yesterday the State House Anti Corruption Unit arraigned two suspects; Wakoko Kassim and Nakhaima Francis before the Bududa Chief Magistrates Court on charges relating to mishandling Parish Development Model funds in Bududa District.
Wakoko being the Parish Chief Bunandutu, is charged with obtaining money by false pretences after he defrauded millions of shillings from several beneficiaries of the Bunandutu PDM SACCO members claiming, the money was meant to process their funds wherenot.
Nakhaima Francis is charged with making false claims by officials. Nakhaima and others still at large, being employees of public service, and were expected to file returns and furnish correct statements regarding Bumakita PDM SACCO funds, made false entries and returns by registering persons who were not beneficiaries of the same parish. They have been remanded until 5/11/2024.
