KEThe Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) in Kenya has successfully obtained court orders to forfeit assets worth approximately Sh207.7 million from Andrew Biketi Musuya, a former accountant in the Trans Nzoia County Government. The court ruling, made by Judge Rose Ougo of the Milimani Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Court, determined that Musuya could not adequately explain the significant disparity between his known legitimate income and the value of his assets. These assets include high-value properties in Mombasa and Bungoma counties, along with bank deposits and motor vehicles. The EACC initiated legal action under Section 55 of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act (ACECA), which allows for the recovery of unexplained wealth through civil proceedings without requiring a criminal conviction. The court ordered the forfeiture of Sh207.7 million, though the initial valuation of the assets was higher at Sh289.9 million.
