Cyrus Jirongo and Francis Atwoli have been summoned by the anti-graft agency to shed light into a Sh200 million land saga in Nairobi.

Former Lugari MP Cyrus Jirongo and Cotu secretary general Francis Atwoli were Thursday summoned by the anti-graft agency over an inquiry into a Sh200 million land saga in Nairobi.

Politician David Murathe has said he was also summoned over an ongoing probe into the Kemsa scandal.

He said he would be there at 3 pm.

Atwoli is accused of receiving the money through a farm associated with Jirongo.

The farm received the money from Nairobi county as compensation for the land it claimed in Mukuru slums.

An investigation by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission found out the land in question belonged to a primary school and dispensary.

“Those who claimed the money as compensation did not have even a title deed to warrant being paid,” an official aware of the probe said.

After the farm associated with Jirongo received the money some of it is said to have been sent to Atwoli.

It is the reason the agency wants the two to explain.

Atwoli is out of the country.

Jirongo arrived at the Integrity Centre gate on Thursday but refused to get in after realizing there were journalists there waiting.
