The Treasury Ministry has finally broken silence after reports emerged that their employee was killed over suspicious millions worth of tender at the Ministry.
Speaking through a statement to newsrooms, Treasury Principal Secretary Chris Kiptoo revealed that Chirchir was knocked down by a vehicle contrary to earlier reports that he was killed
Kiptoo added that Chirchir was an intern at the Ministry of Treasury till her demise on the night of August 31, 2024. However, Postmortem examination is yet to be conducted.
According to Kiptoo, the Officer Commanding Station (OCS) at the Kyumvi outpost in Machakos confirmed the arrest of the driver involved in the accident further acting as proof of the statement by the Ministry.
“He was not involved in any sensitive or decision-making capacities within the department, and the incident that led to his death occurred during his private time, far from his work responsibilities.”
This comes after Chirchichir’s body was found lying at the Machakos Level 5 mortuary several days after the deceased’s family reported his disappearance claiming that he was threatened over Ksh 286M tender.
“What we are getting is that there was a tender of Ksh286 million and Chirchir also raised this issue and informed his brother that his life was in danger mainly because of the tendering process.”
