Three Kitui county officials who were arrested by the Ethic and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) over irregular and fraudulent awarding of tenders were on Friday arraigned at the Machakos law courts. The court ruled the three accused persons be taken to Kitui Law courts for plea taking by close of business on Friday. Munyao was arrested by the EACC in an investigation targeting more than five other officials. Their advocate Morris Kimilu told the Machakos court that the case was under the territory of Kitui county and they can only take plea if the case was transferred. The three suspects were arrested by EACC officers on Thursday morning in Kitui over fraud and abuse of power.
