The family of the late Makueni Senator, Mutula Kilonzo, has denied allegations by Machakos Governor, Dr. Alfred Mutua, that he gave it sh2.9 million for the burial the late Kamba hero. Speaking yesterday, late Mutula’s son, Mutula Kilonzo Junior, who is also the current Makueni Senator, noted that he was not aware of any money that Governor Mutua gave to his family for the burial of his late father and so did his family. Mutula Jnr said his family was shocked to learn from the media that Governor Mutua gave out sh2.9 million for the funeral and called upon whoever authorized and received the money to personally account for it. However, he said there are no receipts to indicate the money was received and how it was expended but if indeed the Governor gave out, then the family did not get it. Even though he acknowledged receipt of sh1 million for a PA system, he maintained it did not come from Machakos County Government as claimed by Governor Mutua. He said Mutua’s allegations have caused a huge embarrassment to Mutula’s family and portrayed it to have misappropriated public funds.
