A Court ordered the freezing of Sh48 million held in bank accounts belonging to a Nairobi County employee earning Sh55,000 a month. The employee is alleged to have been involved in fraudulent dealings. EACC said although the employee earns a net monthly salary of Sh55,000 he received and channelled Sh506 million through bank accounts held in his name and family members between January 2016 and October 2022. The commission says it established that Kanani's duties at the county include regulation of outdoor advertisements, monitoring and surveillance of all outdoor advertisements and calling advertisers to comply with approvals and payments for advertisements. “He is associated with five companies which are reasonably suspected to have traded with the Nairobi City County Government,” EACC said in court documents.
