“After being appointed the chaperon of the team, the dates of travel were moved every now and then. When I got to Rio, I did not have accreditation. We spent the night without dinner,” she said.
Asked how he could walk around with that much money, Mr Soi quipped: “Hiyo ni pesa kidogo sana.”
He said there was a balance of Sh8 million from the Sh25 million he had and that would also be handed back.
But the necessity of the expenditure was immediately brought into question after it emerged that Sh24 million of the amount was meant to cater for ministry officials and the team from Parliament. The lawmakers from the National Assembly and the Senate who travelled to Rio were paid for by Parliament and travelled on the budgets of the two Houses’ committees on Labour and Social Welfare.
