Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) detectives, operating from the Mombasa Regional Office, have apprehended nine individuals in connection with counterfeit tenders valued at KES 62 million.

Among the apprehended suspects, six are identified as officials affiliated with the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA). As per the primary investigator, the accused orchestrated a deceptive plan aimed at misappropriating public funds through a tender granted to a company under their ownership.

The presiding judge is anticipated to deliver a verdict today, with the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) expressing optimism that the suspects will be remanded to facilitate further investigations.

The commission has not issued a comprehensive statement detailing the connection between the implicated officials and the company by the time this article was published.

It is reported that law enforcement officials traced the financial transactions of the suspects before apprehending them during the crackdown.

Despite this, the commission has affirmed its commitment to recovering the embezzled funds through the fraudulent activities of the implicated officials.

On January 23, the EACC initiated a crackdown targeting government officials accused of securing state positions using counterfeit certificates.

While speaking in Kisumu EACC Chairperson Bishop David Oginde emphasized that all salaries disbursed and funds allocated from the exchequer budget would be reclaimed.
