Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>A senior government employee has been dealt a huge blow after the Anti-Corruption Court froze all his accounts holding Ksh57 million.<\/p>\n

This is after the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) had argued that he had an unexplained wealth estimated at Ksh138 million.<\/p>\n

According to a local media report, the frozen accounts belonged to a Senior Manager at the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (KETRACO) which is a 100% state owned corporation.<\/p>\n

In the ruling, Anti-Corruption High court Judge, Esther Maina directed that the accounts be frozen for a period of six months as investigations into his conduct continues.<\/p>\n

The money, which is on the radar, is contained in various accounts including Saccos as well as investment accounts.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn order be and is hereby issued prohibiting the respondent (Njehia) his agents, servants or any other person from withdrawing, transferring, disposing, wasting and\/or in any other way dealing with the funds held in the Sacco and investment accounts listed,\u201d ruled the judge.<\/p>\n

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) accused the government worker of illegally amassing the wealth whose value has been pegged at Ksh138 million.<\/p>\n

He was accused of influencing tenders at the company and has invested in various properties across the country including eight high-end cars.<\/p>\n

EACC claimed that the employee has over 40 properties sprawled across Nairobi, Nakuru and Nyandarua Counties.<\/p>\n

The properties include private and investment companies, parcels of land and investments in various Saccos across the country.<\/p>\n

Broken down, the civil servant’s saccos and investments accounts has an estimated Ksh76 million while he has share deposits valued at Ksh64 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cPreliminary investigations reveal that the respondent (Njehia) has amassed a lot of wealth as a result of the corrupt conduct including over forty (40) landed properties in Nairobi, Nakuru and Nyandarua Counties.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is becoming evident that the Respondent (Njehia) has unexplained assets disproportionate to his known legitimate source of income and specifically his salary as a public officer,\u201d stated EACC in court documents.<\/p>\n

The investigation has also been extended to his close family members who are believed to have been used as proxies in the operation.<\/p>\n

This comes even as KETRACO lost a court case challenging the award of Ksh4.8 billion to a Spanish firm over the construction of the power line linking Uganda to the Kenyan power grid.<\/p>\n

The payout will be made by the taxpayers’ money.<\/p>\n
