An MP, a former PS and an ex-director in a State advertising firm are today expected to take plea in a multi-million shilling payment scam case.

Lugari MP Ayub Savula, former ICT Principal Secretary Sammy Itemere and former Director of Government Advertising Agency (GAA) Dennis Chebitwey are among 23 individuals and five companies whom the State believes siphoned Sh122 million through briefcase entities instead of paying media companies for services rendered.
