Kefa Seda Allegedly Paid KSh 200M Bribe to PS Chris Kiptoo for Treasury Job

The French government, in collaboration with relevant investment agencies, is currently investigating serious allegations of bribery, abuse of office, intimidation of public officials, and procedural irregularities in the interview and appointment process for the position of Director General of Public-Private Partnerships (PPP).

The position was previously held by Ambassador Christopher Kirigua, who was unceremoniously dismissed in an apparent attempt to create a vacancy for Kiptoo to solicit the highest bidder.

The allegations specifically implicate Kefa Seda, who oversees PPP operations at the Kenya National Highways Authority (KENHA).

It is alleged that Kefa Seda offered significant financial inducements to Chris Kiptoo, the Principal Secretary for the National Treasury of Kenya, in an attempt to influence the outcome of the appointment process in his favor.

The alleged transaction reportedly took place in Eldoret.

Both Kefa Seda and Chris Kiptoo are also accused of accepting substantial payments from foreign investors, primarily from entities in China, Turkey, and Gulf states, to sway the privatization of state-owned enterprises.

The situation is under intense scrutiny due to reports that the individuals involved have employed aggressive and oppressive tactics, undermining the authority of the Cabinet Secretary for the Treasury and other key government officials integral to the decision-making process.

Additionally, Kefa Seda is alleged to have obstructed the interests of a French company at the Mau Summit after receiving considerable financial incentives.

He is also accused of manipulating judicial and investigative institutions to advance his objectives while neutralizing opposition through unconventional methods.

In response to these allegations, a non-governmental organization (NGO) plans to file a lawsuit to annul the appointment process and initiate a lifestyle audit of Kefa Seda.

The audit will focus on allegations of abuse of office and misconduct at the Treasury and KENHA. The NGO has also formally petitioned the President to reject the appointment of the implicated officer.

The involvement of Chris Kiptoo in the Public Service Commission has raised concerns among security and oversight agencies.

There are fears of possible intimidation and undue influence over the appointment process, casting doubt on the integrity and fairness of a process allegedly marred by coercion.
