The DPP has also ordered the prosecution of former Bungoma Governor Wycliff Wangamati on corruption charges.

In a statement on Thursday, August 28, the ODPP stated that Barchok will be charged with a conflict of interest after he received Ksh2,750,000 from companies that traded with the county between the financial years 2019/2020 and 2024/2025.

The ODPP further stated that the governor should be arraigned in court alongside the Director of Chemasus Construction Limited, Evans Kipkoech Korir.

The duo should be charged with conflict of interest, money laundering, acquisition of proceeds of crime, and unlawful acquisition of public property.
