What the detectives are trying to unravel is the source of income in his bank accounts as well as those who may have transacted with the Member of Parliament.
It is alleged that the legislators issued irregular tenders to individuals in millions with the beneficiary being himself at the end of the transaction.
Among those under the police radar are two hairdresser who are reported to have been awarded tenders worth millions leading to the Ksh 12.5 billion misappropiation of funds.
