A Treasury official found with a Sh8.7 million M-Pesa balance and suspected to have stolen millions from the government through facilitation allowances is in fresh trouble after the graft watchdog got orders to freeze three properties.

High Court judge Esther Maina froze the properties belonging to Faith Kiptis, including an apartment in Syokimau, and plots in Shanzu, Mombasa and Kilifi, pending the conclusion of investigations by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC).
