The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has recovered Sh12m and USD 13,000 in cash from Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi's home in a probe over alleged embezzlement and abuse of office.
The EACC said the investigation involves fraudulent procurement and fictitious payments amounting to Sh1.5 billion.
Among the key issues under scrutiny is a Sh230 million contract awarded to Filtronic International Limited for the supply and implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system during the 2022/2023 financial year.
The Commission has also flagged illicit transactions involving senior officials who allegedly engaged in direct business dealings with the county government, in violation of procurement laws.
