EACC Directs CA to Submit 10 Documents in Ezra Chiloba Investigations
The Ethics And Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has launched an investigation into the Communications Authority’s (CA) alleged mismanagement of funds during the tenure of former Director General Ezra Chiloba.
In a letter dated September 28, the commission informed Chiloba that it was investigating allegations of abuse of office and conflict of interest.
The alleged mismanagement of funds occurred between the fiscal years 2021/2022 and 2023/2024, according to EACC.
EACC stated in a statement, “The Commission is investigating allegations of abuse of office and conflict of interest against Ezra Chiloba Simiyu, the suspended Director General of the Communications Authority.”
EACC also requested that Cristopher Wambua, the acting director general of the Communications Authority, produce several documents to assist the commission in conducting exhaustive investigations.

Included among these are the National Treasury Audit Report, the Mortgage Loan Policy, the Mortgage Loan Book, and a panel of authorized values.
In addition, EACC requires CA to produce the minutes of the Special Board Audit and Risk Assurance Committee meeting held on August 8, as well as specific information regarding all mortgage loan beneficiaries.
This request from the EACC follows Chiloba’s suspension on September 18. Christopher Wambua was designated acting director general as a result of this development.
“Following a meeting of the Authority’s Board held on September 18. resulting in the suspension of the Director General, I am pleased to inform all staff of the appointment of Christopher Wambua as a Director General in Acting Capacity effective today till further notice,” read part of the statement by CA confirming Chiloba’s suspension.
In 2021, Ezra Chiloba succeeded Francis Wangusi, who had retired. The initial appointment of Chiloba was for a four-year term with the possibility of renewal.
