Former President Mwai Kibaki's office in Sh36 million debt owed to KICC

Former President Mwai Kibaki's office has been accused of accumulating rent arrears amounting to Sh36 million and failing to settle the debt even after it vacated the premises.

According to a report by the Auditor General, the office of the third president of Kenya did not pay rent for the three years it was stationed at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC).

The KICC office was occupied by former President Kibaki's private secretary, one Prof. Nick Wanjohi.
