This incident follows closely on the heels of a significant recovery made by the commission recently. An eye-watering sum of Ksh.47 million was reclaimed, a sum alleged to have been embezzled from the County Assembly of Homa Bay during the years 2015 to 2017.
The anti-graft agency revealed that this staggering amount was siphoned through a fraudulent scheme, masterminded by the assembly’s former clerk, Bob Kephat Otieno, his spouse, and a local bank manager.
This revelation underscores the magnitude of corruption and the intricate networks involved, raising concerns about the depth and reach of such illicit practices within governmental structures.
