KEThe Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) in Kenya has arrested Kitui County Chief Officer Gladys Mami Kivoto and five company directors over allegations of procurement fraud involving Sh17.48 million. Investigations revealed that Kivoto allegedly used five proxy companies, Shanel Construction Ltd, ECO Stone Ltd, AZ Links Ltd, DTK Construction Ltd, and 4-Walls Ltd, to conduct transactions with the county. Three of the directors are identified as relatives of Kivoto, and there were financial ties between her and other directors. The EACC forwarded the case to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), which approved charges of conflict of interest, abuse of office, money laundering, and corrupt procurement against nine suspects. Some of the accused are currently in hiding and are required to appear at EACC offices for processing.
