The Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji has ordered the arrest and prosecution of Migori Governor Okoth Obado and his children for what he called misappropriating Sh73 million public funds. In a statement, Haji said he was satisfied there was enough evidence to arrest and charge Obado (), his sibling and children for misappropriation of county funds. The DPP said the governor's actions allegedly led to the loss of more than Sh73.4 million. According to a statement released by the office of the DPP, an audit trail of the money paid to various companies led persons closely related to Governor Obado. Others were used to buy high-end cars and to educate his children in Australia, Scotland and the United Kingdom.
