EACC Summons Road Agency Bosses, Freezes Millions in Graft Probe Linked to Governor Wamatangi

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has officially summoned the heads of three major government road agencies — Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA), and Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) — to appear for questioning in a major corruption investigation tied to Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi.

As the probe deepens, the EACC has also taken a firm step by freezing bank accounts belonging to five companies suspected of participating in questionable financial dealings connected to the scandal.

The summons came shortly after Governor Wamatangi filed a court petition seeking legal protection against any arrest or prosecution by the EACC.

In his legal application, the governor rejected the accusations, stating they lacked factual basis and insisting he was not part of the procurement processes currently under investigation.

Wamatangi further claimed that the EACC’s move was politically driven, aimed at damaging his public image. This comes even as the anti-corruption commission intensifies its scrutiny of allegedly irregular contracts awarded during his administration.

Earlier this year on April 15, EACC officers conducted simultaneous raids on the governor’s office, his private residence, and the homes and offices of nine other top officials from the county government.

The raids were linked to suspicions of public funds embezzlement and potential conflicts of interest within the Kiambu County leadership.

In total, ten senior county officials were reported to be under active investigation for their possible involvement in financial mismanagement and abuse of office.

Following the search operation, the EACC disclosed that investigators recovered a substantial amount of money from Governor Wamatangi’s home. According to EACC Chief Executive Officer Abdi Mohamud, Ksh13 million in cash was discovered at the governor’s residence — a sum the commission believes may be tied to corrupt activities.

In addition to the local currency, detectives also found USD 13,000 in cash, which translates to approximately Ksh1.68 million. The anti-graft body stated that this money, along with other key evidence gathered, would form a crucial part of their case as they move closer to possible prosecutions.

“This operation has led to the recovery of critical pieces of evidence that will support the ongoing probe. Among the items recovered were Ksh12 million and an additional Ksh1.68 million (USD 13,000) in foreign currency from Governor Kimani Wamatangi’s residence.

These are strongly believed to be proceeds from corrupt practices,” said the EACC in an official statement.

The commission noted that once investigations are complete, they will determine the appropriate legal action. This may include charging those found responsible in court, seizing unexplained wealth, and confiscating any assets obtained through graft.

The case continues to attract national attention as it unfolds, with the EACC under pressure to hold public officials accountable while ensuring due process is followed.
