The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has seized assets valued at Ksh 207.7 million from a former accountant at the County Government of Trans Nzoia, according to a recent judgment. Hon. Justice Rose Ougo of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Court ruled that Andrew Biketi Musuya had not adequately explained the discrepancy between the assets he possessed and his legitimate income sources.
The seized properties include two five-storey apartment blocks in Mtwapa, an apartment in Mombasa, and seven undeveloped plots in Mombasa and Bungoma, amounting to Ksh 150.2 million. EACC investigations revealed that Musuya amassed assets worth Ksh 289.9 million between 2013 and 2018, including Ksh 53.5 million in bank and M-Pesa deposits, properties valued at Ksh 226.8 million, and motor vehicles worth Ksh 9.6 million.
The court ordered the forfeiture of Ksh 207.7 million to the state due to Musuya's inability to justify the source of this specific sum.
