The Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission have revealed that three Nairobi county officials, accountants have been arrested yet again today.
This brings to six the total number of officials arrested by EACC over irregular payment of sh 68 million. Ten more officials at large are still being sought.
Earlier it was revealed that former Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero, former Chief of staff George Wainaina and other suspects were arrested by detectives from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC)
On Friday EACC took Kidero to Integrity Centre for interrogation.
A statement from the Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji said the inquiry relates to allegations that the Nairobi City County made illegal payment of Sh68 million to the law firm of Wachira Mburu, Mwangi & Company Advocates.
Kenyans on Friday morning have expressed their dissatisfaction with the EACC for what they call “lack of seriousness” in fighting corruption.
Twitter user Hez Mureithi said, “Seems the only thing EACC can do is arrest; how many times have they arrested former Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero ?”
Mwiti Magambo asked “Who cares about these arrests anymore? They are just sideshows and nothing will be done. How about you do a follow up on drought issue in north rift (Were the foodstuffs fairly distributed) and floods around the country?”
