Former Bungoma Governor Wycliffe Wangamati has honored a summon by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) over corruption-related allegations.
He presented himself at the Commission's headquarters in Nairobi on Monday for processing ahead of his arraignment in court.
EACC said it had received consent from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) to charge him alongside several associates and company directors linked to his case.
Wangamati is accused of embezzling public funds during his tenure in Bungoma County.
He will be charged together with more than ten individuals, including relatives and associates tied to various construction and supply firms, alleged to have benefited from the scheme.
The ODPP accuses Wangamati and his officials of embezzling over Ksh.70 million through tenders.
Meanwhile, Governor Barchok is also expected to avail himself at the commission's headquarters to answer to graft allegations.
Barchok and Evans Kipkoech Korir, a director of Chemasus Construction Limited, are facing allegations of conflict of interest in procurement dealings at the County Government of Bomet.
The ODPP says that Governor Barchok and Korir were ordered to appear in court to answer charges of conflict of interest and unlawful property acquisition through county contracts worth Ksh.2.75 million.
