Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) is face to have finalized investigation of 4 governors allied to the deputy president Tanga tanga movement.
The four governors are said stollen billions of money in preparation of 2022 election.
Narok Governor Samuel Tanui, his Kiambu counterpart Ferdinand Waititu, Migori’s Okoth Obado, and Uasin Gishu’s Jackson Mandago are likely to be paraded in court next week.
For Mandago, he is accused of misappropriating public funds which he used to build commercial and residential buildings in Eldoret and Nairobi.
He accused to have misappropriated over sh 2 billion shilling in the last financial year.
For Waititu, EACC claims he used county funds to buy the five-storey Delta Hotel along University Way and Jamii Bora Building on Koinange Street.
EACC claims the value of the two buildings is close to Sh2 billion, with Delta Hotel costing Sh800 million, Jamii Bora is valued at about Sh1 billion.
EACC wants Obado and his cronies charged with the abuse of office and also recover the monies looted and stashed in foreign accounts.
Obado is said to have benefited to the tune of Sh38.9 million from the proceeds of fictitious contracts through monies wired to his children from the companies in various accounts held in Australia and Scotland.
The EACC accuses Migori governor Okoth Obado of using proxies among them his relatives to siphon Sh2 billion from the county coffers.
In a period of three years, Obado’s newly registered companies had transacted Sh1, 971,179,180 deals exclusively from the county government, which was glaringly disproportionate to their known legitimate sources of income.
The EACC wants Narok Governor, Samuel Tunai charged with abuse of office. Three years back, Tunai was been cleared of corruption charges by EACC. Then DPP Keriako Tobiko had ordered the investigations into Tunai in June of 2015.
The investigations focused on Tunai’s alleged financial, procurement and human resource irregularities.
The investigations prompted the opening of three cases involving Tunai. The cases centered on hire of helicopters, the Mara triangle revenue collection and procurement of Kenya Airports Parking Services Ltd. But the three cases were dropped for a lack of evidence.
But EACC has now reopened the file after getting fresh evidence implicating the governor in theft of public resources.
