Former Bungoma Governor Wycliffe Wangamati will spend the night in police cells ahead of his arraignment in court on Tuesday, September 2.
The former county boss presented himself at the Integrity Centre headquarters in Nairobi on Monday after a summons by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission.
EACC had initially revealed that it received consent from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) to charge him alongside several of his associates.
The governor stands accused of embezzling public funds during his tenure as Busia County boss.
