EACC raids Embu Hotel in ongoing Ksh2 billion NYS corruption investigations
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) conducted a targeted raid in Embu County as it intensifies its crackdown on corruption within the National Youth Service (NYS).
In a statement, EACC said the operation, carried out on Friday, April 17, focused on Mavvel Hotel in Embu Town and is linked to investigations involving senior NYS officials, including procurement personnel accused of engaging in irregular dealings with the agency.
The commission explained that the probe centers on allegations of conflict of interest and abuse of office by top NYS officials, who are suspected of doing business with the institution through affiliated companies, leading to massive financial losses.
“The Commission is investigating allegations of conflict of interest and abuse of office involving several senior NYS officials who are suspected to have traded with the NYS through various companies, resulting in payments totaling approximately KES 2 billion between the 2019/2020 and 2024/2025 financial years,” the statement read in part.

According to EACC, the search operation, executed under a court order, targeted David Mbogo Muthee, the Head of Procurement at the NYS Training School in Gilgil, alongside his associate Naftali Kiperu.
Authorities believe the two may hold key information and evidence tied to the suspected fraudulent transactions.
Investigators confirmed that the raid yielded crucial material expected to strengthen the ongoing case.
EACC indicated that the outcome of the investigations will determine the next course of action, including possible prosecutions and recovery of illicit wealth.
“Upon conclusion of the inquiry, the findings will inform appropriate action, including the prosecution of any culpable persons and/or the recovery of unexplained wealth and proceeds of corruption,” the statement concluded.
