What you need to know:

  • Cases are among high profile files set to be forwarded to the DPP
  • Mr Sonko and Mr Waititu face accusations of flouting the requirement that all tenders are advertised online in the procurement portal.

  • Mr Hinga, who has been the face of President Uhuru Kenyatta’s affordable housing agenda, is accused of abuse of office after he ordered for the cancellation of a contract that had been awarded to a local company.

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC)  is investigating Nairobi and Kiambu governors Mike Sonko and Ferdinand Waititu over abuse of office, corruption and unexplained wealth.

The Nation has learned that the governors' cases are among high profile files that the EACC plans to forward to the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for prosecution.
