The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has secured a court order requiring former Homa Bay County employee Evelyne Adhiambo Ogweno to repay Ksh708,664 to the Kenyan Government. Ogweno, a former medical social worker at Ndiru Hospital and County Payroll Officer, received double salaries for over three years, from February 2015 to May 2018.
The High Court ordered her, along with former County Payroll Officer Maurice Ochieng Wambo, to jointly refund the excess amount. The recovery is part of EACC's ongoing investigations into the alleged financial mismanagement within the Homa Bay County Government payroll system, which reportedly led to the loss of Ksh42,249,988. In addition to the repayment, the Commission is also pursuing legal action against officials believed to be primarily responsible for the payroll fraud.
