The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has filed a lawsuit in the High Court, seeking to recover Ksh813 million from Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi.
The governor and thirteen other are accused of alleged corruption and conflicts of interest relating to the awarding of road construction tenders.
According to the commission, the money had been obtained through irregular payments from the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), and the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) between the 2018/19 and 2021/22 financial years.
“Further investigations established that Hon. Wamatangi, while abusing his position of trust and acting in conflict of interest, colluded with companies linked to him to engage in fraudulent practices by submitting forged and falsified bid documents to unlawfully secure tenders,” EACC said.
Regarding the matter, the court has scheduled the hearing of the application for November 18, 2025, when the parties are expected to appear for the proceedings session.
