Governor Wamatangi's bank accounts frozen over Ksh.813 million graft case

The orders were issued following an application by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), which is investigating allegations of corruption and unexplained wealth linked to the funds.

The freeze will remain in force pending the hearing and determination of the EACC’s application.

The order is an addition to Wamatangi's latest woes, including the demolition of his business premises near Nyayo Stadium in Nairobi. 

Wamatangi's premises were vandalized in the wee hours of Wednesday morning.

According to witnesses, police officers arrived at the area around 12 am and used teargas canisters and live rounds to disperse crowds and those on duty before demolitions commenced.

The property is reported to be located on Kenya Railways- owned land. 

The State corporation revealed plans to construct a railway station adjacent to Nyayo National Stadium and a railway spur line from the Nairobi Central station through Nyayo National Stadium area, Kibera, to Talanta Sports City Stadium to ease movement during the AFCON tournament.

The corporation stated that all encroachers of the said land were issued with notices in advance to vacate the railway corridor to pave way for the construction of the station and spur line. 

"Kenya Railways is in the process of evicting all encroachers as we repossess all the land that has been identified for the above mentioned development," read part of the statement.
