Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah has written to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) demanding urgent investigations into claims of massive corruption within Busia County, which he alleges has resulted in a loss of Ksh5.2 billion.
In a letter dated August 25, 2025, the Senator formally petitioned the anti-graft body to launch criminal investigations against county officials and other implicated individuals, following what he described as a systemic looting of taxpayer funds.
Omtatah explained that the claims were anchored on a fraud audit report that he commissioned and released in July 2025.
The document analysed the Auditor-General's Report on Busia County Executive's Financial Statements for the year ending June 30, 2023, alongside other related documents.
