The ethics and anti-corruption commission has been asked to probe how the ministry of ICT spent Sh12.5 billion for a Konza Technopolis project.
In a petition, three Nairobi residents want the commission to establish if there were any acts of corruption, bribery or economic crimes committed by state officers in the ministry.
"We write to notify you of our humble plea to have your office conduct investigations and recommend to the DPP any state or public officer who may have engaged in unethical conduct," read the letter.
The trio are John Wangai, Kevin Kiarie and Muhia Kagwi.
Auditor General Nancy Gathungu in her latest report says it has not been possible to establish how the funds were spent since documents submitted for review were photocopies.
In the financial statement of receipts and payments, some amount is said to have been made directly from the Chinese bank to the contractor for undertaking the implementation of the Konza data centre and smart City facilities project.
Gathungu states that the payments made comprised Sh2.67 billion for the data centre at Konza Technopolis and Sh9.25 billion for the Konza tech city project.
An amount totalling Sh608 million is said to have been made from China for the National optic fibre backbone project.
It states that the receipts of payments were supported by photocopies of documents instead of original documents, “which the management indicated they were forwarded to the tender”.
“Consequently, it has not been possible to confirm the propriety of payments totalling Sh12.53,” reads the report.
Previously known as Konza technology city, Kona Technopolis is a national government project started as a key driver of vision 2030.
