Kiambu Governor Among High-Profile Suspects Questioned in Major Corruption Probe
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has intensified its investigation into a multi-million shilling corruption scandal, with Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi among several high-profile suspects summoned for questioning. The probe centers on alleged irregular procurement and misappropriation of public funds intended for county development projects, marking one of the most significant anti-corruption operations in recent months.
According to EACC officials, the investigation focuses on suspicious tendering processes for major infrastructure projects awarded during the 2023-2024 financial year. We are looking into several completed and ongoing projects where due process may have been bypassed and public funds potentially diverted, stated an EACC spokesperson. The commission has been reviewing procurement documents, bank records, and contract agreements as part of the comprehensive investigation that has spanned several weeks.
The questioning of the governor and other county officials has drawn significant public attention, with anti-corruption advocates welcoming the move. This demonstrates that no public officer is above scrutiny, said a representative from Transparency International Kenya. We urge the EACC to ensure a thorough and impartial investigation regardless of the suspects’ political standing. The developments come amid increased public pressure for accountability in the use of devolved funds.
The outcome of this investigation could have far-reaching implications for governance and accountability in Kenya’s devolved system. If evidence of wrongdoing is established, the EACC has indicated it will pursue both criminal prosecution and asset recovery proceedings. The case represents a critical test for Kenya’s anti-corruption framework and its ability to hold high-ranking officials accountable, potentially setting important precedents for how similar cases are handled in future.
