Morara Kebaso, a well-known figure in Kenya for his role in exposing corruption through his popular show Vampire Diaries Dubbed, has recently shared shocking details on his X handle.
His revelations have once again brought to light a controversial project initiated during former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration.
The project in question is the 100,000 houses initiative launched in 2019, which was a collaboration between the Kenyan government and the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS).
This ambitious project was meant to address Kenya’s housing crisis and was announced with great fanfare, with an agreement signed in New York.
The total cost of the project was estimated at 13 billion USD, equivalent to a staggering 1.7 trillion Kenyan shillings.
However, as Kebaso has revealed, the project has been shrouded in secrecy and allegations of fraud, raising serious questions about its implementation and the use of public funds.
According to Kebaso’s findings, an initial amount of 60 million USD, or 7.8 billion Kenyan shillings, was released for the project.
However, an audit conducted by KPMG, a global auditing firm, uncovered traces of fraud within UNOPS’ handling of the funds.
This discovery has cast a dark shadow over the project, which was initially hailed as a transformative initiative for Kenya’s housing sector.
What makes this situation even more alarming is the apparent effort to erase all traces of the project from public records. Kebaso has pointed out that data related to the project has been systematically removed from Kenyan government websites,
UN agency platforms, and even media articles. Both local and international reports about the project have been deleted from servers, suggesting a coordinated attempt to cover up the scandal.
Adding to the controversy, the land earmarked for the housing project is now reportedly on sale. This raises further questions about the integrity of the project and whether it was ever intended to benefit the Kenyan people.
Kebaso’s revelations have sparked outrage among citizens, who are demanding accountability and transparency from both the government and the UN agencies involved.
The 100,000 houses project, once a symbol of hope for many Kenyans, now stands as a stark reminder of the challenges the country faces in combating corruption and ensuring that public funds are used for their intended purposes.
Morara Kebaso’s role in exposing these details has once again highlighted the importance of investigative journalism in holding those in power accountable.
