Migori County Assembly Sports Committee has launched an inquest into fraudulent expenditure towards the construction of Migori County Stadium.
The stadium which was commissioned in 2014 is yet to be completed despite receiving close to 300 million for its construction.
The county MCAs have issued a 14-day notice to sports executive Samson Ngariba and his Chief Officer, to give a clear report after it emerged that the construction of the stadium did not meet quality standards.
The team led by speaker Boaz Okoth, on Wednesday toured the stalled facility located some 400 meters from the assembly whose construction they said was shoddily done.
They later rejected a report from the executive noting that work done was not commensurate to the Kshs 30 million that was allocated towards completion of the stadium in the last financial year.
The committee chaired by nominated MCA Carolyne Okere, accused the executive of providing divergent information on the expenditures after it emerged that off the only allocated Kshs 30 million stadium, only 25.5 million could be accounted for.
The committee further established that information that the sports department submitted orally on the state of the stadium was contradicting the written submission.
In the written submission, the department diverted Kshs 4.5 million that was meant for the stadium to pay pending bills and also used Kshs 720,000, to pay for security services, yet there was a budget of Kshs 720,000, for the same under the recurrent budget.
According to the MCAs, the department purported that it received an instruction to give part of the amount that was never committed to Covid-19 budget, but could not establish the exact amount surrendered to Corona budget as claimed.
The stadium is the home to National Super League side Migori Youth FC.
