Wednesday, July 1, 2026 - A dramatic scene unfolded when detectives from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) raided the home of former Nyamira County Deputy Clerk and Director of Finance, Leonard Nyamasege, to arrest him over alleged tender fraud.
A video circulating online shows EACC officers searching the
house before discovering Nyamasege hiding in the ceiling in an apparent attempt
to evade arrest.
Nyamasege's arrest follows investigations into the alleged
irregular award of a public tender to Jetta Builders Ltd despite the company
not being the lowest evaluated bidder.
According to the EACC, investigations established that the
unlawful award conferred an undue financial benefit of Ksh 30,187,396 to the
contractor.
Following the completion of investigations, the Commission
forwarded the inquiry file to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions
(DPP), which approved the prosecution of Nyamasege and five other suspects.
The suspects are facing several charges, including abuse of
office, willful failure to comply with laws relating to the management of
public funds, and negligence of official duty.
Detectives also recovered more than Ksh 300,000 in cash from
Nyamasege's vehicle during the operation.
