Bumula MP Jack Wamboka has accused former legislator Mwambu Mabonga of misappropriating millions of shillings meant for education in Bumula Constituency, claiming the funds were instead spent in neighbouring constituencies, leaving local schools and learners severely disadvantaged.

The DAP-K lawmaker alleged that up to Sh20 million from the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) was disbursed outside Bumula at a time when schools in the constituency were facing acute shortages of classrooms, learning materials, and basic infrastructure.
