Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) detectives in the presence of armed police on Thursday, raided Vihiga County Assembly offices.

According to Citizen Digital, the crackdown which is currently underway has also led to the arrest of officials in Eldoret.

This comes weeks after the commission recovered Kes 47 million stolen from the County Assembly of Homa Bay between 2015 and 2017.

The anti-graft body said the sum was stolen through a fraudulent scheme hatched by the assembly’s former clerk, Bob Kephat Otieno, his wife and a local bank manager.
