Anti-graft officers have arrested two Kilifi county officials over a Sh36 million tender. According to an EACC source, the two will appear in a Kilifi court tomorrow to answer to charges including fraudulent procurement proceedings, acquisition of public property, uttering a false document and making documents without authority. “The EACC compiled a statutory report as per section 35 of ACECA and forwarded the same to the DPP. The DPP has concurred with the commission recommendations to charge the directors of Geotech and the county officials,” EACC said. A source familiar with investigations told the Star the agency has intensified operations that will see more county officials nabbed for siphoning county funds through fictitious claims.
