EACC now targets wealth in war on graft

What you need to know:

  • Mr Waqo made the revelations at the commission’s offices after receiving wealth declaration reports from Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua and other senior county staff.
  • Dr Mutua said his deputy, Bernard Kiala, had declined to submit the wealth declaration documents to the anti-corruption commission.
  • He warned that once the commission releases its report, staff with unexplained wealth would face immediate administrative action, which included being sacked.

The anti-corruption commission has warned it will recover the assets of public officers found to have acquired wealth illegally.

Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission chief executive Halakhe Waqo said they would hand over the property seized to the government.
