According to the EACC, a few people who are proxies for the governor registered multiple companies solely for the purpose of procuring high-value contracts from the Migori county government.
According to the EACC, the proceeds were mostly money wired to the governor’s children.
The Migori Governor, Okoth Obado, was charged in court with fraud allegations in August of last year, and now the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission is taking things a step further.
The anti-corruption body wants Obado, his four children Evelyne Adhiambo Zachary, Dan Achola Okoth, Scarlet Susan Okoth, and Jerry Zachary Okoth, as well as 16 other proxies and firms, enjoined in a suit seeking to recover Ksh.73.5 million it claims was looted by the accused via false or irregular contracts, according to a High Court petition certified as urgent.
Jared Peter Odoyo kwaga, 13 firms, and Oliver Okeno Odhiambo are among those who have been enjoined in the event.
