Pulkol told the media that he and other party officials used the money to run party activities. He threatened to sue media houses that would continue publishing defamatory stories about him.

Pulkol says that publishing such stories destroys his name in the public. The media houses that published stories against Pulkol quoted the UPC President Dr. Olara Otunnu who told a press conference that David Pulkol had stolen 250 million shillings.

Otuno told journalists that UPC had already alerted Deepening Democracy Program -the NGO which provided the party funds to investigate the loss. Otunnu sacked Pulkol last month over reported mismanagement of the above funds.
