A former County Executive Member of the Machakos County government has been ordered to deposit Ksh80,251,815 into an interest-earning account after a court issued a stay of execution on the seizure of unexplained assets totalling Ksh91,202,892, pending an appeal in the case.
While delivering the ruling on February 28, Justice Musyoka of the Anti-Corruption Court ordered that the account, to be jointly operated with the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), should be opened within ninety days.
He further warned that failure to do so would result in the automatic lapse of the stay order, allowing the Commission to proceed with the execution of the judgment.
The former CEC had appealed orders obtained by the EACC in October 2024 that authorised the seizure of a portion of his assets in a case investigating his unexplained wealth of Ksh540 million.
