EACC detectives have arrested Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi over alleged corruption following early morning raids at his residence and county offices.
Just hours after detectives from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) raided the home and office of Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi, the county chief has been arrested and presented at the commission’s offices in Nairobi.
During the morning raid, nine other senior county officials also had their premises searched in the raid over suspected embezzlement of public funds and conflict of interest.
EACC Detectives said they seized documents and electronic devices crucial to the probe.

The operation follows months of pressure from Kiambu leaders for investigations into the governor, who succeeded Ferdinand Waititu—now in prison for a Ksh588M graft case.
In February, Senator Karungo Wa Thang’wa urged the EACC to probe the county’s payment system, alleging that the governor had switched from an automated one to a manual one.
The senator alleged that this change had created a perfect cover for ghost workers, noting that Ksh390 million had been stolen under this guise.
