When I saw the newspaper I was very, very happy. I even talked to people in my office about it.
We were several in the department. I showed the whole department.
On processing the vouchers, I did the most though Esther Karimi and Mrs Bett, also clerks, would do it when I asked for help.
Nobody reacted to the newspaper story. It didn’t last two days.
There is a lady who came and told me that she had heard a rumour but everything in that story was correct.
So after that there was a big story; to cover up the CID were ordered to investigate.
Wakauliza hii kazi inafanywa kwa department gani.
Kukuja kwa department wakauliza hii kazi inafanywa na nani.
Wakaambiwa ni Munyakei. They were talking to the bosses.
The bosses told them it was Munyakei who did this and that’s what happens when you go to a department and need to know what goes on.
So that’s when they came to arrest me.
They came to the head of department and they were told it is Munyakei and since I had been complaining they knew and were not happy.
Are you getting me?
If you are head of department, you know everything.
Some CBK security officers found me at the canteen and told me that I was wanted at the security office at CBK.
