The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested four former Nyamira County officials for the alleged abuse of office during their tenure.
In a statement on its official X account on Monday, March 3, the EACC stated that the four-three men and one woman-illegally appointed 56 staff members in the Department of Gender, Youth, Culture, and Social Services.
The officials who were arrested include a former Nyamira County Executive Committee member, a former Commissioner of the Nyamira County Public Service Board, a former Principal Culture Officer, and the former Assistant Director of Administration.
According to the EACC, some of the appointed staff were placed in positions that were neither sanctioned by the Cabinet nor accounted for in the budget for the 2016/2017 financial year.
