In the matter, the anti-graft body sought information against Dr Kidero during his tenure as the Managing Director of Mumias Sugar Company, between 2003 and 2012, and also during his term as Nairobi county boss, among them a memorandum of understanding signed between the County Government and a Chinese firm.
Dr Kidero argued that EACC’s mandate is limited to enforcing the provisions of Chapter Six of the constitution, and does not extend to investigating offences other than those specified in the constitution.
Former Nairobi Governor Dr Evans Kidero has suffered a setback after the Court of Appeal dismissed a case in which he sought to block the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) from investigating his bank accounts.
Court of Appeal judges Daniel Musinga, Asike Makhandia, and Sankale ole Kantai on Monday said the questions Dr Kidero was raising in the appeal had been answered by the Supreme Court in a judgment delivered in a separate case in February 2019.
