The High Court has frozen more than Sh1.8 million belonging to a woman suspected to have been drawing monthly salary from the Vihiga County government yet she is not an employee.

Justice Nixon Sifuna allowed the application to freeze the bank account belonging to Jackline Nyambura Wakasiaka for six months as the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) investigates her conduct.
