EACC has arrested seven officials from Nakuru County over alleged procurement fraud involving Sh120 million. The arrests include county executive members, chief officers, and county directors, according to the anti-graft agency. The investigation was triggered by allegations against Lorna Karamuta Mubichi, an Economist II at the County Government, who is accused of using her position to facilitate the fraud.
The case highlights ongoing efforts by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission to hold public officials accountable for financial misconduct. Mubichi is alleged to have played a key role in the procurement process, leading to the misappropriation of public funds. The exact details of the fraudulent activities are still under investigation.
The arrests have sparked discussions about transparency in public spending and the need for stronger oversight mechanisms. The EACC has not yet released further details on the charges or the next steps in the case. The agency continues to probe the matter to ensure accountability and restore public trust.
