They are former Nairobi governor Evan Kidero, his successor Mike Sonko, impeached Kiambu governor Ferdinand Waititu and Samburu's Moses Lenolkulal. EACC chairman Eliud Wabukala said the commission is chasing unexplained Sh500 million held by Lenolkulal and Sh8 billion by Kidero. “For honourable Waititu, former governor for Kiambu, EACC is looking for something like Sh2 billion and for honourable Sonko, former governor for Nairobi, EACC is looking for something like Sh1 billion,” Wabukala said. In 2019, he fought off allegations by the EACC that he amassed wealth acquired through Sh2 billion allegedly looted from Samburu county. Waititu, who was in 2019 charged with Sh588 million county fund theft, also owns prime priority in the city and beyond.
