The EACC has directed Uasin Gishu to suspend a plan to buy the National Bank building in Eldoret for Sh570 million pending investigations. EACC deputy director for North Rift Jackson Baithalu has written to Uasin Gishu county secretary Edwin Bett demanding all documents concerning the purchase deal. He says the county claims in its purchase plan that it needs more offices yet contradicts itself by saying the building will be leased to the bank for six years. In a social media post, Sudi told Mandago to stop the purchase, warning that “Uasin Gishu county does not have fools”. A spot check of the current county offices shows many are not in use and have been abandoned.
