Detectives from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) on Wednesday morning raided the homes of former Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yatani and Marsabit Governor Ali Mohamed Mohammud.
The duo, together with top former and current Marsabit County officials have been linked to a suspected multi-billion graft probe, totalling Sh8.2 billion.
According to sources within EACC, Yatani is expected at the EACC Integrity Centre Police Station over the alleged graft scandal.
Marsabit Governor Mohamed Ali and several other county officials are also on the EACC radar.
The Nairobi Law Monthly understands that EACC has been going through files related to the misuse of funds within Marsabit county. Yatani was the governor of Marsabit between 2013 and 2017.
“Both their homes (Yatani and Mohammud) in Nairobi and Marsabit counties were raided on Wednesday, April 24 morning and it’s believed crucial documents were carted away during the raid,” EACC said.
Yatani served as Governor for Marsabit before being appointed to the Labour docket and later Treasury as the Cabinet Secretary, under former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s regime.
