A shocking revelation has rocked the political scene as former Narok Governor, Samuel Tunai, has been exposed by an international journalist for embezzling funds that were meant for development projects in the county.
The funds, which were intended to support various community projects in Narok, were allegedly misappropriated under the former governor’s watch, severely undermining the well-being of the very people they were meant to help.
The international journalist, who has been investigating corruption in Kenya for years, uncovered a trail of financial irregularities linked to Tunai’s time as the governor.
According to the reports, a significant portion of the funds allocated to non-governmental organisations (NGOS) for community development projects in Narok were diverted into private accounts.

These NGOS were supposed to use the money to improve infrastructure, healthcare, and education in the country, but instead, it appears that the funds were systematically siphoned off by those in power.
The investigation revealed that Samuel Tunai, who served as governor from 2013 to 2022, was allegedly involved in orchestrating the diversion of these funds to various private entities and accounts that were linked to him and his close associates.
The funds that were supposed to improve the lives of thousands of Narok residents were instead used to line the pockets of the corrupt officials involved in this scheme.
In an attempt to cover his tracks, Tunai allegedly tried to silence the journalist responsible for exposing the corruption.
Reports indicate that Tunai attempted to bribe the journalist to halt their investigation. He allegedly offered a substantial amount of money in exchange for a promise to keep the story quiet and avoid public exposure.
However, the journalist refused to succumb to the pressure, continuing to push forward with the investigation and bringing the truth to light.
The journalist’s persistence paid off, as the exposé has ignited public outrage in Narok and beyond. Many residents have expressed their anger over the theft of funds that could have improved their living standards.
There have been calls for a full investigation into Tunai’s actions and for accountability to be brought to those responsible for the corruption.
