What you need to know:

  • Justice Ong’udi ruled that the EACC had established that Mr Kiamba’s six cash deposits totalling Sh317,648,604 constitute unexplained assets.
  • Mr Kiamba, who served during Governor Evans Kidero’s administration, had explained that the deposits were from revenue derived from sale of cattle, farming wheat and maize, a transport and quarry business and sale of some property.

Former City Hall Chief Finance Officer Jimmy Kiamba was dealt a blow Wednesday when a court ordered him to pay the government Sh282 million.

Justice Hedwig Ong’udi also ordered Mr Kiamba to pay an additional Sh35 million to the government, failure to which he will forfeit his house in Runda Water Estate, Nairobi.
