OBWOGO FINALLY SPEAKS OUT..

By Nyamweya Bw'Omari and Moses Nyamori

The embattled 25th SGC’s Finance Director Mr. Cyprian Obwogo, has finally broken his long silence and countered corruption allegations levelled against his office by the media and even his fellow directors whom he served with.

Obwogo, who has in the recent past hit Campus Media headlines for all the wrong reasons, decided to defend his tenure in office saying that the claims made against him are insincere and were used by his fellow directors as a scapegoat. The disgusted director said that some of the directors accusing him of non-performance and misappropriation of funds are ‘worse than him’.

“Other directors have made more claims (funds) than I have done. The ones you think have been advocating for your rights are the ones who have been ‘sucking’ you dry.” Said the pained director.

On being asked about why he has been absconding the SGC meetings including the latest hand over ceremony held last week on Thursday, he said some of the meetings have ‘no agenda’ and are just being used to make their allowance claims. He also added that the purportedly well communicated hand over meeting came to his attention minutes its commencement and could not attend since he had a sit-in CAT.

“It was very unprofessional for the chair (Mr. Mwamburi) to inform me of the meeting some minutes before it started. Mwamburi found me wrapped in my towel preparing for a sit-in CAT. Was I supposed to attend the ‘impromptu’ meeting or go sit for my CAT?” he lamented.

“The atmosphere created was that of grilling Mr. Obwogo. If they had any agenda, why couldn’t they question me during the joint Friday Dinner at Guest House? They only came to eat chicken and go.” Added Obwogo.
MUSO Cyber computers not stolen
The enraged outgoing Finance Director denied claims that he had stolen computers from Muso Bureau at the Students’ Centre saying that the three functional computers he found when he got into office are in the Vice Chairperson’s office at the Studie. He also added that the three computers were of no benefit to the organisation as they were constantly bringing losses which led to the eventual closure of the premise by Chairperson Mwamburi, Secretary General Okeri and the Academics Director Mr Silas Ong’aro.

However, he said he was against the move and tried to convince the three officials not to close it but instead look for a lasting solution for the same. Unfortunately, they went on and closed it. He later wrote a proposal for requisition of new materials and computers, which he says because of the bureaucracy in the Procurement Office, the proposal up to now has not been worked on.

In the exclusive interview with The 3rd Eye, Mr. Obwogo cautioned comrades not to be quick to judge him wrong and persecute him before knowing who the real thieves (in Muso) are. He also said that his office is only being used by the other directors to create a perception that they were angels and performed as expected.

“What have these other directors given to comrades? Has anybody ever told you how they make false claims amounting to hundreds of thousands claiming that they attend non-existent meetings and use my name to withdraw cash without my consent? If you don’t believe me, I will show you how each director has been spending and then you will tell me who the real thief is.” Said the Finance Director.

He has since vowed to release a DOSSIER of all the financial claims and expenditures for each docket during his tenure and leave it to comrades to decide on whom they should persecute.
