Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi/fileThe High Court has extended interim injunctive orders freezing bank accounts linked to Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi and several other individuals in an asset recovery suit filed by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). Parties were also granted liberty to file and respond to pleadings arising from an application by Governor Wamatangi, seeking to strike out the suit. The extended orders prohibit the Governor and other respondents from dealing with funds held in several bank accounts identified in the proceedings. In earlier proceedings, the High Court issued preservation orders freezing bank accounts associated with Governor Wamatangi, his wife, children, and 10 other individuals and entities named in the suit. Governor Wamatangi has previously opposed the proceedings, insisting that he is being unfairly targeted.
