Political Analyst Mutahi Ngunyi To Sue Newspaper Over Sh 38.9M Consultancy Fee

Renowned Political Analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has stated that he will sue a local daily over what he terms  as 'under- representing' the worth of his firm.

The political expert through his social media page has taken issue with a report published on The Star.

In the said publication Ngunyi is said to have received a sum of Sh38.9 million for offering consultancy services, to the NYS 5 point vision strategy.

According to Ngunyi Sh38.9 million is a cheap fee for their consultancy firm - The Consulting House- which he says is a “security think-tank” in 18 countries.

The Central Bank has reportedly written to the Ministry of Devolution about questionable payments of hundreds of millions shillings made to private companies through the National Youth Service.

The Star reports that the NYS has paid over Sh665 million to suppliers and consultants since November last year.

Among the payments quoted is two vouchers of Sh32 million and Sh18 million  made on May 15, 2015, for the supply of powdered milk to the NYS.

The same documents show that Mutahi Ngunyi of The Consulting House has been paid Sh38.9 million for consultancy services for the implementation of the NYS 5-point Vision strategy.

He is said to have received Sh25 million (Sh12.5 million each) as quarterly payment while he received Sh10 million on May 27 and another Sh3.9 million on the same day as reimbursement costs while implementing the 5-point Vision strategy.

 

I will SUE the Star for UNDER-REPRESENTING the worth of our company. 38M is a cheap consultancy for a security think-tank in 18 countries.
