The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has secured a High Court order to seize assets valued at Ksh.91,202,892 from former Machakos County Executive Committee (CEC) Member Urbanus Wambua Musyoka, after the court ruled the property was acquired through corrupt means between January 2014 and July 2021.

The assets include a residential property in Kibauni/Kamuthwa, Mwala, Machakos County, valued at Ksh.80.25 million, along with Ksh.10.95 million in funds held in Musyoka’s bank accounts. EACC spokesperson Eric Ngumbi confirmed the court order on Wednesday, adding that this ruling is part of two lawsuits aimed at recovering a total of Ksh.548,250,106 linked to Musyoka’s tenure.


A second pending case seeks to recover Ksh.457,047,214.80, allegedly obtained through fraudulent tenders awarded to companies owned by Musyoka’s wife, brother, and other close associates. The investigation found Musyoka benefited from Ksh.457 million in fraudulent payments made to four companies owned by his wife, Fiona Muthoki Mutisya, his brother, Antony Mbindyo Musyoka, and other proxies.

The firms involved include Wafih International Limited (Ksh.115,203,820), Wisdom Holdings Limited (Ksh.165,880,047), Kikoto General Merchants (Ksh.40,284,440), and Wemmar Enterprises (Ksh.135,679,706), which EACC says are proceeds of crime. Musyoka operated these accounts as the sole signatory, and none of the firms paid taxes, with a KRA debt totaling Ksh.181,722,145.


In 2021, EACC’s investigation led to a demand for Musyoka to account for his wealth, concluding he held unexplained assets subject to forfeiture as proceeds of corruption. Musyoka and his associates were later arrested and arraigned in November 2023 before the Machakos Anti-Corruption Court, where they faced charges of conflict of interest, unlawful acquisition of public property, procurement violations, fraudulent practices, and falsifying documents—all of which they denied.

With the court’s recent ruling, the EACC will proceed to recover these assets for public return.
