The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) raided the offices and residences of six senior officials of Busia County on Wednesday in a Ksh1.4 billion tender probe.
The operation was part of an ongoing investigation into irregular procurement practices, conflicts of interest, theft of public funds, and accumulation of unexplained wealth against the six officials.
The probe centers on tenders valued at Ksh1.4 billion that were allegedly awarded to 26 proxy companies during the 2023/24 and 2024/25 financial years.
These companies are believed to be operated by relatives and close associates of the county officials under investigation.
