The letter directed TUM council to investigate allegations of fraudulent activities by senior staff. Four council members voted that he should receive stern warning and then resume work but three members were of contrary opinion. "For unknown reasons, the three council members went ahead and wrote a dissenting opinion to Matiang'i," Makau said.

"It is was an illegal punishment because the CS had no knowledge of contract between the claimant (Mwatelah) and TUM," Makau said.
