Tourism CS Najib Balala has dismissed claims that EACC raided his home last Monday over an alleged Sh100m contract. The Standard reported that detectives raided his Nairobi office and his homes in Nairobi, Vipingo in Kilifi, and Mombasa where crucial documents were recovered. But in a tweet on Friday, Balala denied the claims saying that his legal team were handling the matter. According to a statement from the EACC dated February 13, Balala was only asked to record a statement. The contract was for hosting various expos under a programme to aid in the recovery of the Tourism docket whose performance had been struggling.
