The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has begun the process of auctioning 10 high-value properties seized from four suspects, including associates of former Migori governor Okoth Obado, in a bid to recover Sh505 million allegedly misappropriated from public funds.

The EACC has appointed three auctioneers — Galaxy, Keysian, and Astorion — to sell properties owned by Jared Kwaga, Joram Otieno, Caroline Obwa and Otago Ojuki.
