Three employees of Trans Nzoia County government arrested after alleged theft —

Three Trans Nzoia County Government employees were arrested by detectives as they left the Kitale Law Courts following a mention of a case involving Governor George Natembeya. While police did not immediately specify the charges, sources indicate the trio—a procurement officer, a finance clerk, and a driver—are being questioned over alleged irregularities in a county vehicle tender that is part of a broader probe into the governor’s administration. They were arrested to assist with ongoing investigations into procurement processes, a senior officer at Kitale Police Station stated. The arrests come amid heightened scrutiny of county operations, with the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) currently investigating several projects. Governor Natembeya, who was in court for a separate mention, has previously vowed to cooperate with investigators and clean up county procurement.
