The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission has stopped the sale of a multi-million-shilling property said to belong to Kenya Railways Corporation to Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko. The Star has established that the EACC wrote to Kenya Railway boss Philip Mainga on Tuesday asking the corporation to freeze any deal on the property as it’s under active probe. “The Commission is in receipt of information that Kenya Railways Corporation is in the process of selling one of the properties, a house situated at Matumbato Road Nairobi, to Primix Ltd,” EACC chief executive Twalib Mbarak said. Yesterday, Mainga distanced Kenya Railways from the deal, saying the property belongs to Kenya Railways Pension Scheme. Just a week ago, Sonko was sending coronavirus care packages with bottles of Hennessy (cognac) to the poor.
