Man sues to have DP Kindiki, State officers investigated over cash handouts

Daily NationIndependentCenterNov 5

A citizen named Kelvin Kipchirchir has filed a petition with the High Court demanding that the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) investigate the financial sources of Deputy President Kithure Kindiki and other state officers. The petitioner alleges that these officials distribute cash, vehicles, and motorbikes during public empowerment events outside of approved government programs. The legal action seeks to establish accountability regarding the origin of the funds used for such distributions. The article notes that the anti-corruption agency has previously scrutinized politicians who spend significant sums on similar empowerment initiatives.
