\nAfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> Garissa Governor Ali Korane’s plea has been deferred to Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The governor spent his afternoon in his car waiting to take plea since 2 pm.<\/p>\n

His lawyers say they have been told to come back on Tuesday morning at 8 am.<\/p>\n

Korane presented himself to the EACC at Integrity Centre on Monday morning as the anti-graft agency begin a probe into a Sh233 million grant fund.<\/p>\n

The DPP had ordered his immediate arrest alongside four top county officials over the grant fund.<\/p>\n

Korane, a first-time governor, is accused of colluding with the county officials to illegally divert Sh233,506,000 grant given by the World Bank to finance an urban programme.<\/p>\n

Korane becomes the sixth sitting governor to be hauled to the corridors of justice as the government tightens the noose on corruption in counties.<\/p>\n

Investigations by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission revealed that the funds were irregularly diverted from the county coffers.<\/p>\n

The money was to be used on specified projects under the Kenya Urban Support Programme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
