Kiambu Governor Waititu Arrested as Detectives Raid His Nairobi Homes

Detectives from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) on Thursday arrested Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu.

Waititu was apprehended hours after the detectives raided three of his homes in Nairobi. 

The sleuths are said to have arrived at Waititu's homes in Runda, Garden Estate, and 
Bellcrest Gardens in Kileleshwa as early as 6 am.

The tens of officers were reportedly in search of files and documents to support ongoing investigations into corruption allegations against Governor Waititu.

The investigations are linked to irregular contracts issued by Waititu’s administration in the last financial year.

EACC is investigating several Kiambu county programs, including the "Kaa Sober" initiative, which aims at rehabilitating alcohol addicts.

The Daily Nation reports that 15 other Kiambu county government officials are targeted in the ongoing investigations.

Waititu was driven to EACC headquarters at Integrity Center for questioning.
