The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) Headquaters Nairobi. [Jenipher Wachie, Standard]
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested the Clerk of the Nyamira County Assembly, Duke Simeon Onyari, over alleged procurement irregularities linked to the construction of an office block at the county assembly, a project investigators say resulted in the loss of more than Sh30 million in public funds.
The anti-graft agency announced on Wednesday that the arrest follows the conclusion of investigations into the award of Tender No. CAN/T/027/2017–2021 for the construction of the office block.
According to EACC, the tender was awarded to Jetta Builders Ltd despite the company not being the lowest evaluated bidder.
