Former Mandera South MP Wanted By EACC Over Ksh.51 Million Tender Graft
The Anti-corruption Court in Mombasa has issued a summon to former Mandera South MP Adan Haji Sheikh to appear before it on 13th February to answer charges of corruption.
According to investigations conducted by the Ethics and Anti-corruption Commission (EACC), the former MP is accused that during his tenure as the Kwale county executive committee member for Tourism, he failed to disclose ties with Lofta Resort Limited, a hotel that was prequalified and awarded contracts to offer accommodation and conference services to Kwale County Government on diverse dates between May 10th, 2013 and May 2017.
Further investigations revealed that Haji, his wife, Fatuma Ibrahim Roba, and his son, Alibashir Adankhalif were registered as directors of Lofta Resort Limited which received a total of Ksh.51, 456,006 shillings from the Kwale County Government in the period under review.

For failing to declare a conflict of interest during the tendering process, Haji was found to have contravened sections 42 and 48 of the Anti-corruption and Economic Crimes Act, 2003.
The anti-graft watchdog now says that the former legislator has been evading arrest since December 2023 after the director of public prosecutions gave a green light to the recommendations by EACC to charge Adan Haji before the Mombasa Anti-Corruption Court.
Following his disappearance, the EACC registered the charge sheet at the Mombasa court and has since secured a summons compelling the former legislator to appear before it on 13th February 2024.
