Ivory Consult Founder Clive Wafukho Faces Fraud Allegations Over Unfulfilled Contracts
Clive Wafukho, the founder and managing director of Ivory Consult, a firm claiming expertise in environmental engineering and sustainability management, is facing a storm of allegations over financial misconduct and unfulfilled contractual obligations.
Several clients — including prominent public figures — have accused Wafukho of taking payments for projects that were never completed. Within local business circles, he has gained a controversial reputation, with multiple clients describing him as deceitful and unreliable.
One of the most notable complainants is human rights activist Boniface Mwangi, who claims he paid Wafukho KSh 1 million for a drilling project that never materialized. The matter has since escalated into a legal dispute, with Mwangi accusing the businessman of dishonesty and breach of trust.
The two are currently locked in court proceedings, while Mwangi has taken to social media to condemn what he describes as fraudulent practices by Wafukho. In his posts, the activist alleges that Wafukho has built a pattern of scamming unsuspecting clients seeking environmental and drilling services — a field that heavily relies on professionalism and technical credibility.
Mwangi’s campaign has painted Wafukho as a manipulative operator who takes clients’ money and disappears, leaving them stranded with incomplete or non-existent projects.
Despite the growing accusations, Wafukho has remained silent and has not publicly addressed the claims. Ivory Consult is now reportedly under scrutiny by regulatory agencies for possible fraudulent activity.
Other clients have also come forward with similar complaints, claiming to have lost substantial sums of money to the company without receiving the promised services.
The controversy has raised broader concerns about accountability and regulation within Kenya’s environmental consultancy sector, where a lack of oversight has allowed questionable operators to exploit unsuspecting clients.
Industry experts warn that such practices not only harm victims financially but also undermine public trust in legitimate environmental service providers. They have called for tighter regulation and due diligence requirements in the sector.
As the case against Wafukho proceeds in court, clients and stakeholders are being urged to exercise caution when engaging consultancy firms that promise rapid environmental or drilling solutions.
The ongoing Wafukho saga highlights the urgent need for stronger oversight and the importance of thoroughly vetting firms before entering into costly contractual agreements.
