T can confirm to you the statement read by Senator Johnson Sakaia was 2 copy
paste of what Abdi Guyo had alleged at Radio Citizen and KTN to unleash and was not
written by Sakaja bue was delivered by Guyo to Alladwa,

‘Thursday 2i* November 2019 for Sakae to change his une from supporting @ statement
that wae sought in seaate by Senator Kabaka trom Machackos.on the land grabbing of
the South C public children’s playground by a.nortorious grabber. The senator also
queried the 2 consents entered by EACC ta allow the grabber continue with the
construction of the maif on a public land. The statement was also supported by Senator
Achile Ayako of Migort on the Hloor of the Sonate,
Well, what changed is chat Sakaja received Kesh. 1.5 Million from the ksh. 5 Million
collected by Alacwa fom Guyo, Aladwa kept Ksh. 15 Million for himself However,
when they came to the MPs, Aladwa and Sakaje lied to the Mps that they had received

Stkaja alsa took another Keb. 250,000."
