United Opposition Distrungled By CS Mbadi’s National Infrastructure Fund Claims
The United Opposition has called on Parliament to summon Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi to explain purported discrepancies in the planned National Infrastructure Fund (NIF).
Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka told the press on Thursday afternoon that Mbadi had allegedly misled MPs regarding the legal and constitutional status of the Ksh5 trillion Fund.
According to the opposition, Mbadi’s remarks to parliamentary committees contradicted material in an affidavit he filed in court.
“These concerns on NIF are directly confirmed by the conduct of John Mbadi, in an affidavit, consistently presenting the Fund to parliamentary committees as a public fund subject to parliamentary oversight,” Kalonzo said.

The opposition leaders stated that, while the fund was presented to legislators as a public fund, Mbadi’s evidence indicated otherwise.
According to Kalonzo, the affidavit said that the National Infrastructure Fund was not a constitutional public fund, but rather a limited liability firm.
Kalonzo Musyoka expressed worry that the organization had not yet been properly incorporated when the Cabinet Secretary made submissions to Parliament about its status.
“This court affidavit revealed a whole contradictory reality,” he added.
“The entity is not a Fund within the meaning of Article 206 at all, but a limited liability company that had not even been incorporated when these assurances were being given to MPs.”
Speaking to the press, opposition leaders regarded Mbadi’s discrepancy as a severe constitutional issue, given the size of the planned Fund.

Kalonzo stated that the issue went beyond a technical misunderstanding, claiming that misleading Parliament on such a significant financial topic harmed public accountability.
“As a CS who assures parliament of a Ksh5 trillion vehicle constitutional status, swears under oath, then misleads them, has not made a technical error,” Kalonzo affirmed.
“He has misled the legislature on a matter of the highest fiscal and constitutional consequence.”
He went on to add, “The National Assembly must summon CS Mbadi to reconcile his parliamentary presentation with his court testimony.”
