Mr Nyakundi, a senior land registrar in Thika, was being investigated for alleged misappropriation of public funds, abuse of office and unexplained wealth. The EACC said Mr Nyakundi acquired 106 properties scattered across the country, 17 motor vehicles and Sh4.6 million in cash, which was seized from him when officers raided his home. The EACC said it obtained the orders to investigate Mr Nyakundi over allegations of abuse of office and misappropriation of funds. After obtaining the orders, the agency searched his home, business and office premises and found a significant number of ownership documents relating to land, vehicles and bank accounts. The corruption watchdog argued that Mr Nyakundi had amassed wealth disproportionate to his legitimate source of income.
