Not to downplay Raila and the politics. Still Patrick Njoroge says the information being sought is privileged. He also also says his institution has handed over the information that EACC wants. The implication I gather is that Eurobond, like many others, should now safely belong in the under investigation tray. Not subject to nosy politicians any longer. Patrick's letter does not mention the Auditor General. That the Auditor General, who is said to be also furiously investigating the same, has not yet talked to CBK would appear to be a fact.
The silence from the parliamentary CORD is deafening. Why haven't they demanded this information from their perches National Assembly? Do they care? The Ababu Namwamba's, the Mbadi's, Midiwos...As far as I can tell Raila is a normal civilian. Why is he the one demanding this information?
I believe Raila is wrong to claim the money was stolen abroad. I don't think any Kenyan would take such a risk. They would not if they have been following ICC, Chickengate and the Sam Gichuru saga. In any case, the documents provided by the treasury seem to support the fact that the money finds its way to Kenya. And there is hard documentation to prove it.
What is not clear , as I mention in another thread, is how the last portion, the famous 999 gets into the Consolidated Fund; this would seem to be something that Patrick would be in as good a position as anyone to easily confirm or deny with documentation. He can silence the CORD crew with simple documents that show the money trail. But he says this is privileged information. If this is true. What are the relevant provisions in the law/constitution?
