Malindi CDF might have lost close to Sh150 million during Nyangwara Obura Alfayo Nelson’s tenure as local moves head to court. Days after it was revealed that one Nyangwara Obura Alfayo Nelson had allegedly swindled over Sh150 million from Malindi CDF under Amina Munyazi as the area Member of Parliament, the politician is now reportedly cleaning his image through well-funded opinion polls to show his masters that he has a good following. Nyangwara Obura Alfayo Nelson and Alfayo Nelson Hope Foundation have a case before the Milimani Law Courts, Case No. E029 of 2026, where he is accused in relation to proceeds of crime. In the matter, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), the Asset Recovery Agency (ARA), and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) are listed as respondents. The petitioner wants to compel Mr. Nyangwara to explain how he allegedly swindled over Sh150 million from the Malindi CDF, money which it is claimed he is now using to campaign in Nyali Constituency. According to the Auditor-General’s Report for the 2023/2024 financial year, under the subject of unaccounted-for bursaries, Malindi Constituency, which has a poverty level of 53%, reportedly lost over Sh65,542,562 during that financial year alone. Awendo CDF, with a poverty level of 46%, recorded approximately Sh125,860,756 in unaccounted bursary funds. After he was allegedly dismissed by Hon. Amina Munyazi over dubious corruption claims, it is alleged that he bribed his way into Ukambani but was later chased away before landing in Western Kenya, where he is allegedly swindling coffee farmers’ money like there is no tomorrow. A close ally of Nyangwara Obura Alfayo Nelson claimed that in every political move in Nyali, he is using huge amounts of money and even boasted that the Milimani court case would not affect him because he would allegedly bribe every investigator who attempts to pursue the matter. “He called the Swiss Poll and Politrack and gave them Sh100,000 each so that he can make himself relevant, but for sure he has no grassroots support. People are just eating left, right and centre. He has no humanity at all, and he is organizing criminal gangs that will cause mayhem and disrupt peace when campaigns begin,” the source alleged. The source, who identified himself as Anold, further alleged that the opinion polls were doctored and that Nyangwara Obura Alfayo Nelson personally instructed that he must lead in every poll. “The first position was being given Sh100,000, number two Sh80,000, then number three Sh50,000. The rest, who are very popular and have strong support on the ground, had clear instructions that they should not appear anywhere close to those polls,” Anold alleged. A representative linked to Swiss Poll, who was allegedly collecting money, was reportedly approached by one of the aspirants requesting to be ranked number one. The representative, identified only as John (not his real name), allegedly responded that it would only be possible upon payment of Sh150,000. “We are in business, boss. If you want to be number one, we can make it happen. It is only your money, and don’t even ask your members to vote. We know how to doctor those votes,” the representative allegedly said. Recently, Coast Regional Police Commander Ali Nuno issued a strong warning to criminal gangs terrorising residents, stating that the full force of the law would be applied against anyone financing or sponsoring such groups. “I want to clearly state that any individual caught, found funding or influencing criminal gangs, we will arrest and prosecute him. Politicians should keep off criminal gangs, or we will come after you,” Nuno said. ...

Allegations of nepotism, intimidation, harassment, unfair dismissals and an alleged sex scandal have rocked CocaCola Coastal Bottlers Limited, with employees accusing the company’s top leadership of creating a hostile working environment while the firm allegedly continues to lose millions of shillings. Workers at the Mombasa-headquartered company are up in arms over what they describe as rampant nepotism, intimidation and harassment allegedly orchestrated by Seth Adu-Baah, the Chief Executive Officer of Coca-Cola Coastal Bottlers Limited, Joseph Yeboah Mensah, the Chief Commercial Officer, and another official identified only as Edward, who reportedly arrived in Kenya a week ago while the company was conducting a mapping exercise. A source within the company, who sought anonymity for fear of victimisation, claimed that the foreign officials allegedly do not fully understand the terrain or the prevailing working conditions in Kenya. “Have worked here for years and actually with the look of things am not seeing the future, my colleagues Racheal and Nancy were sacked, she was a single mother and had a boy in the university. Actually Racheal has an ongoing court case as we speak and both are now suffering,” she said. The source further alleged that Joseph Yeboah Mensah and Seth Adu-Baah, who are said to be relatives from Ghana, have allegedly ganged up to intimidate local employees. “Even the company is not doing well. There was a lady identified as Rose Piroma, commonly referred to as Mwende, who wanted to be accommodated as a distributor. She sweet-talked Joseph to the extent of going with her to bed and Sh15 million was lost just like that,” she added. According to the source, Piroma allegedly went on to swindle another Sh6.5 million from a man identified as Karanjaover another deal in Voi. The matter, she said, is currently before the court. Expressing his dissatisfaction, activist Evans Momanyi of the Capital Youth Caucus Association (CYCA) said he is planning what he described as the “mother of demonstrations” to protest the alleged injustices. “We can’t allow our people to be intimidated. Our Constitution is very clear. Article 41 of the Constitution of Kenya guarantees every worker the right to fair labour practices, which explicitly includes the right to reasonable working conditions and fair remuneration. These guys are not motivated; they are harassed and intimidated left, right and centre. We can’t allow that to happen,” he said. Investigations conducted by our writer further indicate that several members of staff have allegedly been laid off without reasonable explanation, including Tonny and George, who are described by colleagues as hardworking employees. Another investigation also alleges that the two foreign nationals, Seth Adu-Baah and Joseph Yeboah Mensah, both Ghanaians, with passport numbers G5000105 and G3567994, respectively, might be in Kenya illegally. At the time of going to press, both Joseph Yeboah Mensah and Seth Adu-Baah had not responded to our repeated phone calls seeking their comment and right of reply regarding the allegations.
