The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has summoned the Director-Generals of the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA), and Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) to record statements in an ongoing corruption probe involving Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi.
As part of the investigation, the anti-graft agency has also frozen bank accounts belonging to five companies believed to be have been part of alleged irregular dealings. The summons come just moments after Wamatangi moved to court seeking to bar the EACC from arresting or prosecuting him over the alleged corruption claims. In court documents, the governor dismissed the accusations as unfounded and maintained that he was not involved in the procurement matters being probed.
Wamatangi argued that the commission's actions were politically motivated and aimed at tainting his reputation, even as the EACC intensified investigations into questionable contracts awarded under his administration.
