Samburu Governor, Moses Lenolkulal has been arrested by the Ethics and Anti-corruption commission.
He is currently held at the commission headquarters for questioning and will be charged over alleged graft.
In February, governor’s home was raided by EACC over Ksh 2 billion fraud.
In early March, the anti-graft commission obtained orders freezing Governor’s bank accounts.
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) also obtained orders barring Lenolkulal from transferring four prime properties in Nairobi
The orders came from two separate suits against Lenolkulal and his company; one at the High Court and another at the magistrate’s court
The commission told the High Court that on July 8, 2015, Lenolkulal spent Sh30 million to buy two parcels of land in the upmarket Karen suburb, Nairobi, an amount EACC claims was part of the Sh1.6 billion Samburu County lost.
