As the probe into the irregular payment of Ksh.6 billion in the Telkom Kenya buyout saga intensifies, the joint committee on Finance and Communication has gone back to the drawing board in an attempt to unravel the scandal.

The committee has now summoned former Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yatani to appear before it to explain why he authorised the payments and whether the payments were sanctioned by a Cabinet meeting.

The committee has also summoned former Secretary to the Cabinet and Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua as well as former Treasury Principal Secretary Julius Muia.

Telkom Kenya Board Chair Eddy Njoroge has also been summoned by the lawmakers to explain the dealings between Telkom, Helios Ltd and Jamhuri Holdings and why the government is still a minority shareholder in Telkom with 37.9 per cent shares despite the Ksh.6 billion payout.

A heated exchange ensued during the Thursday session with a section of committee members demanding that former ICT Cabinet Secretary Joe Mucheru be summoned.

The committee has also dispatched letters to Jamhuri Holdings for any of its directors to appear before it. However, Helios Investment Limited has its directors in Mauritius Island, Cayman Island and the United Kingdom.

Other persons of interest include Bernard Ndungu, who is the Director General Accounting Services & Quality Assurance, well as Stanley Kamau, the Director General Public Investments & Porftolio Management.

All the summons take effect immediately, with the persons of interest required to appear before the committee starting Tuesday next week.
