  "account": "The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested six individuals over an alleged irregular Ksh1.5 billion stadia contract awarded in 2017 for the 2018 African Nations Championship (CHAN) preparations. Former Sports Principal Secretary Ambassador Peter Kaberia and five others are among those apprehended for their involvement in the alleged irregular award and payment of the contract valued at USD 15.89 million. The contract, awarded to Auditel Kenya, a Spanish company registered in Kenya, was not procured in compliance with the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act, 2015. An advance payment of approximately Ksh330 million was made to the company, which subsequently failed to fulfill its contractual obligations, resulting in a loss of Ksh330 million in public funds. The EACC investigation revealed that the funds were transferred through various entities to conceal their origin and facilitate their movement back to Kenya. The suspects are expected to face charges such as conspiracy to commit an economic crime, unlawful acquisition of public property, money laundering, and abuse of office. Their arraignment is scheduled for later today before the Anti-Corruption Court in Nairobi. EACC has also initiated civil proceedings to recover and forfeit the public funds and assets allegedly acquired through the proceeds of crime linked to the matter.",
