Samburu Governor Moses Lenolkulal is under investigation by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) over Sh661.2 million suspicious wealth.
EACC wants Governor Lenolkulal to explain the source of the wealth acquired since March 2013 when he was elected into office.
The wealth in question includes four parcels of land in Nairobi's Karen neighborhood, luxury vehicles, money in personal bank accounts, and MPesa deposits.
EACC notes that his net salary for the period between July 2013 and February 2019 was Sh42.3 million but he acquired assets worth Sh703.5 million, giving a net value of Sh661.2 million.
“The commission reasonably suspected that you engaged in corruption and economic crime having unexplained assets,” EACC CEO Twalib Mbarak says in a letter dated April 19th.
“You are hereby afforded a reasonable opportunity to explain in writing the disproportion between the assets concerned and your known legitimate sources of income within 14 days of receipt of this notice.”
Governor Lenolkulal, who has until May 3rd to respond to the letter, is required to supply EACC with information regarding the source of cash deposits and transfers, cost of acquisition of the properties, and dates and development costs of the structures erected on the properties.
The anti-graft agency also wants him to provide supporting documents such as sale agreements, transfer documents, lease agreements, and bank receipts for payments of every property.
Speaking to Sunday Nation, the governor accused EACC of malice, saying the matter is already in court as Civil Suit No. 21 of 2019, in which the commission is seeking to recover assets whose source it believes is through proceeds of graft.
“I think this is unfair. This is an issue in court and I consider it subjudice,” Lenolkulal said.

GERMANY BIDS FAREWELL TO ANGELA MERKEL_
With six minutes of warm applause, on the streets, balconies, windows, the whole Country applauded for 6 minutes - spectacular example of leadership and defense of humanity, chapeaux !
The Germans elected her to lead them, and she led 80 million Germans for 18 years with competence, skill, dedication and sincerity. She did not utter nonsense. She did not appear in the alleys of Berlin to be photographed. She was dubbed "The Lady of the World" and who was described as the equivalent of six million men.
During these eighteen years of her leadership of the authority in her Country, no transgressions were recorded against her. She did not assign any of her relatives to a government post. She did not claim that she was the maker of glories. She did not get millions in payment, nor did anyone cheer her performance, she did not receive charters and pledges, she did not fight those who preceded her.
Yesterday, Merkel left the party leadership position and handed it over to those after her, and Germany and it's German people are in the best condition ever.
The reaction of the Germans was unprecedented in the history of the Country. The entire population went out to their balconies of their houses and clapped for her spontaneously for 6 continuous minutes. A standing ovation nationwide.
Germany stood as one body bidding farewell to their leader, a chemical physicist who was not tempted by the fashion or the lights and did not buy real estate, cars, yachts and private planes, knowing that she is from former East Germany.
She left her post after leaving Germany at the top. She left and her relatives did not claim advantage. Eighteen years and she never changed her wardrobe. God be upon this silent leader.
At a press conference, a female Journalist asked Merkel : We notice that you're wearing the same suit, don’t you have any other? She replied: "I am a government employee and not a model"
At another press conference, they asked her : Do you have housemaids who clean your house, prepare your meals and so on? Her answer was: "No, I do not have servants and I do not need them. My husband and I do this work at home every day.
Then another journalist asked : Who is washing the clothes, you or your husband? Her answer: "I arrange the clothes, and my husband is the one who operates the washing machine, and it is usually at night, because electricity is available and there is no pressure on it, and the most important thing is to take into the account the possible inconvenience for the neighbours, thankfully the wall separating our apartment from the neighbours is thick. She said to them, "I expected you to ask me about the successes and failures in our work in the government??"
Mrs. Merkel lives in a normal apartment like any other citizen. She lived in this apartment before being elected Chancellor of Germany. She did not leave it and does not own a villa, servants, swimming pools or gardens.
Merkel, the now former Chancellor of Germany, the largest economy in Europe !!
It would be nice if Kenyan politicians would adopt selflessness as a guiding principle. Unfortunately if you read comments here or Kenyan publications, you realize too many Kenyans are driven by status symbols and ostentatious displays. Watch for words like tycoon(thief), top of the range and prestigious while generally deriding people in healthcare or transportation despite the fact that these people are essential and do honest work and are paid well for that work.
Start from the top.
KENYATTA
Moi
Raila
KIBAKI etc
All politicians, government officers and their immediate families must declare there wealth annually and audited by the EACC and reports issued publicly.
All politicians in Kenya have or have had very Suspicious wealth (except the late Martin Shikuku). Case in point: Investigate all of them.😇
