The anti-graft agency told a parliamentary committee yesterday that Governor Moses Kassaine (Samburu) and former governors Evans Kidero (Nairobi), Ferdinand Waititu (Kiambu) and Mike Sonko have Sh11.5 billion of unexplained wealth. He has since showed interest in Homa Bay governorship. Otieno is accused of embezzling, with others, standing imprests in Homa Bay County amounting to Sh2 billion. The agency said it recovered Sh25 billion in the 2019-2020 financial year and has since surrendered the money to the State. In the report, EACC said it had averted loss of Sh30.4 billion and was seeking forfeiture of Sh25 billion by public officials found to own unexplained wealth.
